Local Political Contexts And Immigrant Integration, Dalston Gawain Ward
Arts & Sciences Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Understanding the causes of immigrant integration is critical, as its failure can pose substantial economic and social costs for natives and immigrants alike.

Paese Di Accoglienza: Il Successo Di Un Modello Innovativo Di Accoglienza Dei Richiedenti Asilo In Italia, Isabela Arena Secanechia
Senior Capstone Theses
This work discusses Italy's migrant reception system including its flaws and their effects. Furthermore, this work explores an alternative, sustainable model of migrant reception created in Riace, Calabria, that has been successful in varying towns across Italy. Ultimately, this work argues that this system, which is beneficial to both Italians and incoming migrants — specifically asylum seekers — can and should be implemented nationally to counter the current flawed system.
