Knowledge for INtegration Governance
Co-funded by
the European Union

FINAL REPORT

The Final Report of the KING Project - Knowledge for INtegration Governance - concerns integration policies and governance in Europe, as analyzed in the course of the multidisciplinary research that saw the participation of more than 40 researchers across Europe. On the basis of the research results, the Report provides a series of policy-recommendations and discusses strategies for the enhancement of integration measures at the national and local level, as a proposal for the implementation of the Common Basic Principles on Migrant Integration (CBPs).
The Final Report was presented at the Final International Conference held in Barcelona at the CaixaForum on 20 February 2015.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Executive Summary of the KING project (October 2014) is a proposal for the implementation of the Common Basic Principles for Immigrant Integration Policy in the EU, consisting in a series of policy recommendations supported by the solid evidence base provided by the desk research carried out in the first phase of the KING project. The Executive summary was presented during the KING project thematic workshop “Integration Governance: Evidence from Strategies and Policies” held during the Metropolis 2014 International Conference (Milan, 3-7 November 2014).

MID-TERM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Mid-term Executive Summary of the KING project, resulting from the project framing phase, intends to give a first glance on the integration process and integration policies in Europe by providing evidence and particularly on some myths linked to the migrants presence in Europe. This is critical given the widespread myths about migrants’ presence in Europe that are now firmly rooted in European public opinion.

RESEARCH PAPERS

The different Research Teams formed and supervised by the members of the Advisory Board carried out a preliminary Desk Research. For that purpose, the Advisory Board had previously agreed on guidelines in order to frame the research and to ensure coordination between disciplines. Building on this first phase of the project, the Advisory Board members and their Research Teams conducted Empirical In-depth Studies on topics requiring further investigation, identified on the basis of the Desk Research results.

In this section, both Desk Research Papers and Empirical In-depth Studies are collected and listed for each discipline, under the names of the authors. In most cases, Desk Research and Empirical In-Depth Study are distinct papers; in a few cases, when the empirical in-depth analyses represented a direct continuation of the desk research, the two parts are collected in a single paper. Advisory Board members wrote Overview Papers, commenting and providing further insights either on the results of the two phases of the projects.
