Migrations and Policy Cycle in the UK: Overview of Recent Trends / P.G. Van Wolleghem. - Milano : Fondazione Ismu, 2016 Apr.
Abstract:
Spearhead of multiculturalism in Europe, the UK has considerably moved its position on immigration
and integration policies over the 2000s’. Whereas in the 1990s’ the topic did not attract
much attention, it increasingly did in the 2000s’, rushing its way onto government’s
agenda and pushing policies towards more civic integration policy and less multiculturalism.
This paper proposes an overview of the current situation and last policy developments. A first
section brushes a picture of immigration trends and its outcomes for migrants. It also discusses
the politics around the issue; how public opinion behaves, how political parties are positioned
on the question. I then succinctly present the country’s monitoring strategy; or else how it
gathers information on both phenomena to inform policy-making. Moving on to policy itself, I
present some of the last developments brought about by the Cameron administration before
turning to evidence-based policy-making in the UK; or how the UK makes sure policy tackles
its purposes.
