Editorial: Exploring the links between social connections, care and integration

Abstract: It was around the time when late professor Castles (2003) published a seminal article reflecting on the past and future of a sociology of forced migration that Ager and Strang (2004) authored the first paper of what would eventually form the core of integration policy in the UK and beyond (Ager and Strang, 2008; Strang and Ager, 2010), the Indicators of Integration framework (Ndofor-Tah et al., 2019). Already a notion defined in myriad ways, yet still suffering from an utter lack of consensus around what it actually means, is and does, integration was thrust into European public and policy discussions after the “death” of European multiculturalism—a problematic narrative that has endured despite Schinkel’s (2013, 2017, 2018, 2019) admirable correctives.
