Integration

However, all this first and foremost presents a challenge rather than offering an explanation, and there are multifarious questions and implicit prerequisites connected with it: Within what kind of entity does integration occur? Is something integrated into that entity or does it integrate itself? Does the integration of individuals into society first require certain foundations to be laid? When integration occurs, what becomes of the person or thing that has been integrated? What conditions prevent integration from occurring? How can integration as a fluxional process be described and who is involved in it? And finally, is there a certain obligation connected to integration and can integration be planned or prevented? In this book, contributions from philosophy, sociology, political science, law, education and religious studies highlight the normative foundations of integration in Germany and the empirical situation relating to it.
