Title MAGHREB MIGRATION AND INTEGRATION ISSUES: A CASE OF FRANCE
Summary Integration of Maghreb migrants into the French society has become a heavily discussed issue in recent years. There are contradictory opinions concerning the division of responsibility between the Maghreb migrants and the French state that influences with its policy the integration process. This study examines the French state assimilation policy and its impacts on integration of Maghreb migrants. The main argument is that the French state holds high responsibility for the integration problems of migrants. To justify the argument, I use a combination of different methods such as quantitative statistical data, small case studies, and comparative evaluations. One of the major findings of the study is that the French assimilation policy proved an unsuccessful way of integrating Maghreb migrants. This thesis concludes that the present one way assimilation model of integration in France is not sufficiently coherent with the two-way integration approach based on Common Basic Principles of European Integration Policy. Therefore, France should consider employing the latter principle to better integrate Muslim Maghreb migrants.
