Immigrant integration policies in Catalonia (1993-2017): political frames

Share
This article analyzes the political frames of Cata-lan integration policies that were developed from 1993 to 2017. It explores the way some of the major political issues and concepts surrounding immigration have been constructed in a minority na-tion. Based on qualitative analysis of the main political documents approved by the Generalitat de Catalunya, we suggest that Cata-lonia has developed a coherent and inclusive political discourse, based on the recognition of immigration as a constitutive part of its population. However, we detect a utilitarian view on immigration with some elements of its philosophy of integration being unclear ​
