The Integration of Immigrants in Germany. A Failure of the State? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783668927704)

Essay from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - General and Theories of International Politics, grade: 1,0 / 74, course: Global Economic Policy Analysis, language: English, abstract: How is Germany handling the large number of immigrants in terms of integration? What are strengths and weaknesses of the German integration system? What must be improved? Did the state fail? The thesis statement of this essay is that the integration system of Germany is rather a failure than a success story. First, the Race Relation Cycles by Park will be explained. Afterwards, the current integration system in Germany will be critically analysed followed by an outline of its consequences. Next, the status quo of Germany's integration system will be evaluated. Finally, the author will state his advice for policy makers. Migration and integration are challenges which are posed to national states through globalisation. While these aren't new international phenomena, their extent is new. 2017's refugee population globally was the highest since World War Two. "Wir schaffen das" (we make it) said Chancellor Angela Merkel in 2015, referring to the refugee crisis in Germany. Later, this sentence turned into a provocation since large parts of the German population accused her of denying reality. Immigration and integration are still present topics in German politics.
