2 Contents Migrants in a globalising world Two migrant (transnational) communities and their changing identities in the Netherlands The Dutch debate on integration

3 Section 1 Migrants in a globalising world Time and space compression (David Harvey) The information age (Manuel Castells) The network society

4 A globalising world Space of flows (Castells): the infrastucture facilitating flows of capital, commodities, information and people The mobility paradigm (Urry( Urry) The power of identities

5 Social change in a globalising world How important are class, religion, gender, and nation? No great stories anymore : Diversity How to integrate diversity? Negotiating social capital ; what we have in common.

6 Multicultural Amsterdam One of the city s best coffee shops and it has been for some time, thanks to the quality of the goods on offer and the stunning décor and excellent service. If you can t chill at Hunters, you can t chill anywhere.

7 Integration A process by which a social group, usually a minority, becomes accepted into a society, both at individual and group level

8 Migrants in the network society The network society (Castells): Space of Flows Nodes- Place making Place making = home making = maintaining core values and constituting transnational communities organisations = identities

9 Integration of migrants It generally refers to a two-way way process of adaptation by migrants and receiving societies, while the particular requirements for acceptance by a host society vary from country to country (context)

10 Integration of migrants Integration does not necessarily imply permanent settlement. It does, however, imply consideration of the rights and obligations ons of migrants and host societies of access to different kinds of services and the labour market and identification and respect for a core set of values that bind migrants and host communities in a common purpose.

49 Variants of migrants host society adaptation (I.O.M) Assimilation Migrants give up their cultural identity and adapt the mainstream culture of the host community Integration is the two-way way integration process of mutual adjustment and accommodation; both groups not only accept but also want to contribute to a common culture Multiculturalism allow for or encourage different cultures within a society without jeopardizing national cohesion Segregation migrants and host community have very little interaction; migrants participation in society is highly restricted, as too are their rights
