West European Politics,
Vol. 30, No. 1, 1 – 22, January 2007
This article argues that, instead of diverging in terms of national models, Western
European states’ policies on immigrant integration are increasingly converging. One
convergent trend is examined in detail, obligatory civic integration courses and tests for
newcomers. While a comparison of the Netherlands, France and Germany reveals
considerable national variation in implementing civic integration, this variation tends to
be incompatible with traditional national model assumptions. Moreover, more
noteworthy than variation is the shared feature of civic integration that liberal goals
are pursued with illiberal means, making it an instance of repressive liberalism.
Some 40 years after the onset of the great post-World War II migrations,
there is a widespread sense across Europe that the state policies that
were set up to accommodate these migrations were insufficient or even
harmful. Even in states that were long believed to adhere to articulate
and coherent national models of immigrant integration, such as the
‘multicultural’ Netherlands or ‘assimilationist’ France, this sense of failure
is strong. In the Netherlands, a 2004 parliamentary inquiry into govern-
ment policy towards ethnic minorities between 1970 and 2000 came to the
devastating conclusion that, if some migrants in the Netherlands succeeded,
then it was ‘in spite of’ rather than ‘thanks to’ government policy.1 In
France, a similar review of the French postwar immigration experience by
the Cour des Comptes noted that state attention had always been fixated
on refining instruments of immigration control, while integration policy
remained ‘badly defined in its objectives and principles’, ‘incoherent’,
‘contradictory’ and ‘insufficient’ (Cour des Comptes 2004: 9f).
I argue in this paper that a key feature of the policy solutions that have
been offered in response to the integration crisis is the weakening of national
distinctiveness, and a convergence with respect to the general direction and
enrol in civic and language courses immediately after entry (in the
Netherlands lately even before entry), and non-compliance tends to be
sanctioned in terms of financial penalties or denial of permanent legal
residence permits. The novelty of civic integration policy is its obligatory
character, which has notably increased over time, and this notional
‘integration’ policy has even transmuted into a tool of migration control,
helping states to restrict especially the entry of unskilled and non-adaptable
family migrants.
However, a liberal counterpoint to increasingly illiberal civic integration
policies is the parallel emphasis on anti-discrimination laws and policies,
which – forced by direct EU mandate – are now taking hold across Europe.
Accordingly, the last of the EU’s integration principles that will be
mentioned here is: ‘Access for immigrants to institutions, as well as to public
and private goods and services, on a basis equal to national citizens and in a
non-discriminatory way is a critical foundation for better integration’
(p. 21).4 Equality of treatment, irrespective of one’s ethnic origin or any
other ascriptive marker, is certainly the stock-in-trade of all liberal societies,
and guaranteed by their constitutions. Yet to enforce this by explicit anti-
discrimination laws, which lowers the hurdle of claims-making for the
victims of discrimination and – above all – expands the reach of the non-
discrimination principle from the public to the private sector, is a novelty.
Though enabled by a unique window of opportunity at EU level (see
Geddes and Guiraudon 2004), the proliferation of anti-discrimination laws
and policies reflects Europe’s structural transformation into a multiethnic
society, as well as a general willingness to tackle the specific inequalities that
go along with it.
non-compliance, but they were relatively minor and hardly ever enforced by
the responsible local governments. Moreover, this was a state-paid service
with incontrovertibly positive intentions, to get migrants into work, help
them learn Dutch, and thus make them functioning members of Dutch
society. For the liberal mastermind behind WIN, Han Entzinger, the

had been that a secure legal status enhances integration; now the lack of
integration is taken as grounds for the refusal of admission and residence.
Accordingly, the entire integration domain is potentially subordinated to the
exigencies of migration control (see Groenendijk 2004; also de Heer 2004).
The most drastic expression of this development is the new policy

France
The Dutch civic integration policy has quickly become a ‘model for Europe’
(Michalowski 2004a), and variants of it are now practised in Sweden,
Finland, Denmark, Germany, France, Belgium, Austria, Portugal and
Spain (see the overviews in Michalowski 2004a,b; ICMPD 2005; Carrera
2006). If initially one could distinguish between countries in which civic
integration was more ‘right’ than ‘obligation’, this is increasingly less so, as
the obligatory and coercive thrust of civic integration is moving to the fore
almost everywhere.
A good example for this is France, which has moved from initial
voluntarism toward the obligatory and coercive pole, though stopping short
of the Dutch extreme. While the influence of the Dutch example is explicit
and incontrovertible (see HCI 2001: 47–8), the principle of civic integration,
in which newcomers are asked to adopt a shared standard of language and
values, certainly resonates closely with the traditional ‘philosophy’ of
republican assimilation (see Favell 1998). It is therefore all the more
astonishing, and epitomising the previous inaction of the state in matters of
immigrant integration, that the earliest incarnation of French civic
integration appeared only in the late 1990s: the ‘plates-formes d’accueil’
(introduction platforms), voluntary half-day instruction for certain cate-
gories of newcomers (originally only family migrants), which were
introduced by the socialist Jospin government in 1998.
In July 2003, the Gaullist Raffarin government launched the more
ambitious ‘Contrats d’accueil et de l’intégration’ (CAI) programme, which
has evidently taken its cue from the Dutch example (see HCI 2001: 47–8). It
consists of one day of civics instruction, followed (when deemed necessary)
by 500 hours of French language instruction. Interestingly, only about one-
third of the 150,000 expected newcomers in 2006 (first expected year of full
operation of the new policy) are targeted for enrolment in a French
language course.9 The francophone background of the majority of
newcomers to France evidently is an asset that positively distinguishes the
French from the Dutch or German civic integration challenges, where

language acquisition is a much more pressing concern. While this might lead
to a lesser emphasis on the earlier (as against the later) phase(s) of
immigrant integration, there has also been a countervailing consideration.
As the Cour des Comptes (2004: 125) outlined, with an eye on the French
distaste for ethnic-origin classification, accueil (reception) constitutes the
Downloaded by [Real Instituto Elcano], [Mr Juan Antonio Sanchez Gimenez] at 01:37 08 March 2013
only moment in the integration process ‘where the targeted public can be
easily designated without creating a legitimacy problem for public action’.
Overall, there is a remarkable explicitness on the part of the French state
that CAI and the reform of accueil constitutes one of two pillars of a
comprehensive ‘re-founding’ of the French politics of integration, the other
pillar being the ‘struggle against discrimination’, the first targeting the
beginning, the latter the end of the integration process (see HCI 2003).
Compared with the Dutch case, the coercive side of French civic
integration was slower in moving to the fore. While in the first year of CAI’s
existence about 90 per cent of eligible newcomers signed an integration
contract, only 65 per cent of those who were prescribed a French language
course followed up on this.10 This has provided impetus for making CAI
obligatory. The track for this was in principle set in the first Loi Sarkozy of
November 2003, which drastically restricted access to legal permanent
residence, and which made the receipt of a ten-year residence card
dependent on l’inte´gration republicaine, defined in the law as ‘connaissance
de la langue française et des principes qui régissent la République française’
(quoted in Lochak 2004: 2). Most importantly, family migrants (spouses
and minor children), who previously had direct access to a ten-year
residence card (or at least the same residence status as the sponsor), now
would receive only a temporary card for one year, and only after two years
could they apply for the all-important ten-year card, subject to the
inte´gration re´publicaine proviso.
As in the Netherlands, the intention behind making civil integration
obligatory is to fight ethnic endogamy, referred to by Sarkozy as
‘communautarisme parfaitement clanique’ (in Lochak 2004: 4). As Sarkozy
further outlined the rationale: ‘Ce que nous voulons, c’est obliger celui qui
fait venir, dans le cadre du regroupement familial, une personne, laquelle est
généralement sa femme, a lui permettre d’apprendre le français et de
s’insérer dans notre société’ (ibid.). Attacked by Lochak as ‘perversion de la
logique et de l’équité’, this amounts to a double illiberalism in pursuit of a
liberal goal: not just directly obliging a person to become ‘autonomous’,
which is the usual rationale of civic integration, but employing patriarchy
and third-party pressure (of husbands) to oblige another person (his wife) to
be free. While the first Loi Sarkozy did not specify how inte´gration française
was to be formally determined, the next logical step was to determine such
integration in terms of the integration contract (CAI), and to make the latter
obligatory for a ten-year residence card.
This move promptly occurred in a new immigration law passed
under Sarkozy’s second spell as interior minister, in spring 2006. The
Civic Integration Policies for Immigrants in Western Europe 11
coercive European line on this issue. Before this development, the notion of
‘contract’, which was rather casually deployed for the civic integration
schemes in the Netherlands and other European countries, was viewed
rather more philosophically in France. For the president of the Haut
Conseil d’Integration, Blandine Kriegel, the integration contract was
‘inscribed in the French tradition of the contrat social’.17 Thus approxi-
mated to the foundation of the French Republic, the integration contract
could not be forced upon the migrant; otherwise it would not be a ‘contract’.
A contract creates obligations but logically it cannot itself be an obligation.
Accordingly, the Haut Conseil’s (2001) initial proposal for an integration
contract, which would ‘marquer la volonté de l’immigré de s’insérer dans la
société d’accueil’ (p. 60), strongly insisted that it had to be voluntary. If HCI
chief Blandine Kriegel had once celebrated the integration contract as a
continuation of the ‘French model’, untainted by any foreign influences,18
this ‘national model’ refashioning of civic integration was wiped off the table
by the de facto annihilation of the contractual element in it.
Germany
While there was some denial of the non-domestic roots of the contrats
d’inte´gration in France, reference to the ‘Dutch model’ lent even more
legitimacy to the introduction of similar Integrationskurse (integration
courses) in Germany. Faithful to its post-nationalism, Germany, in a move
opposite to France, tended to repress the indigenous sources of the new
approach in its Aussiedler policy. Since the 1990s Germany had offered
language courses to would-be ethnic migrants in Eastern Europe and
Russia, which prepared them for a ‘status test’ that had to be passed before
they were entitled to immigrate to Germany, and after arrival there was
additional state-funded language instruction and civic orientation for a
period of six months. The new Integrationskurse, whose focus is likewise on
language acquisition, simply extend to non-EU, non-ethnic migrants a
programme that had been in place already for ethnic Germans. The true
novelty of the Integrationskurse is that ethnic and non-ethnic migrants are
now enrolled in the same programme of 600 hours of German language
instruction and 30 hours of civics instruction. This has also been the last
stab against the old notion that ethnic migration was not ‘immigration’ but
a ‘homecoming’ of co-ethnics, to be processed in a separate legal regime (for
the latter, see Joppke 2005: ch. 4).
However, the influence of the Aussiedler paradigm shows in the reluctance
to follow the obligatory and coercive tilt of the Dutch model. Since the idea

Culture’. that ‘Cafes serve espresso, cappuccino and café au lait’, that
‘[p]otatoes are served as a side dish along with French baguettes and
Turkish flat bread’, and that ‘German popular music is heavily influenced by
American music’ (Beauftragte der Bundesregierung 2005b: 28). The diction
of these statements is cognitive rather than normative, with no expectation
that newcomers share such preferences; in addition, every attempt is
evidently made to dilute distinct German traits in such ‘art and culture’.
This is not to underrate the exclusionary, even discriminatory possibilities
inherent in ‘civic integration’, which may be depicted in terms of the liberal
state as one for liberal people only. If the Dutch government’s information
DVD for ‘integration abroad’ originally included pictures of nude women,
this would be meaningless information if not specifically targeting Muslim
audiences for whom such footage is known to be an affront.22 An even more
obvious example of discrimination-minded ‘civic integration’ is the so-called
Gesprächsleitfaden (Interview Guideline) for examining citizenship appli-
cants, which was introduced by the German Land government of Baden-
Württemberg in early 2006. Targeting only citizenship applicants from 57
Muslim states, this Gesprächsleitfaden consists of 30 questions that should
help determine whether an applicant’s formal ‘acceptance’ of liberal-
democratic values, which is required by German nationality law,
corresponds to his or her ‘real convictions’.23 All questions are formulated
in terms of a binary opposition between liberal democracy and a certain idea
of Islam, as prescribing or condoning arranged marriage, patriarchy,
homophobia, veiling and terrorism (e.g. question 23: ‘You heard about the
assaults on 11 September 2001 in New York and on 11 March 2004 in
Madrid. Were the protagonists in your eyes terrorists or freedom fighters?
Elaborate on your statement’).24 While one may see insult in the
transparency of such ‘questions’ (and correspondingly low intelligence
imputed to citizenship candidates), their discriminatory edge consists of
‘interpreting . . . the liberal-democratic order primarily in opposition to the
presumed values of a specific group’, as a legal evaluation of the
Gesprächsleitfaden for the city of Heidelberg put it (Wolfrum and Roeben
2006). In other words, such ‘liberalism’ is nothing but a device for excluding
a specific group, Muslims.
Overall, Western European immigrant integration is shaped by two
opposite, perhaps contradictory types of liberalism. On the one side, there is
Rawlsian liberalism, with its emphasis on equality, individual rights and
neutrality; this is the liberalism that has moved states from ‘assimilation’ to
‘integration’, and that requires states to assure a modicum of equality for
all members of society, finding expression in upgraded alien rights
16 C. Joppke
(Joppke 2001), liberalised citizenship laws (Hansen and Weil 2001), and
anti-discrimination laws and policies (Geddes and Guiraudon 2004), all of
which have proliferated across Europe in the past two decades or so.
However, ‘civic integration’ policies for newcomers reveal the parallel
existence of a liberalism of power and disciplining, which has found much

this priority is as old as the hills, consonant with Brecht’s belly-centred ethic
of ‘Erst kommt das Fressen, dann kommt die Moral’ (‘Eating first, morality
second’). However, on a more subtle level this also displays a novel sense of
‘integration’ in the post-national state, as ‘social inclusion’, which is itself
subordinate to the exigencies of globalisation. In the European Union, for
instance, the ‘combat’ against ‘social exclusion’ is not free-standing but tied
to the global competition goal, formulated within the so-called ‘Lisbon
strategy’, of making the Union ‘the most competitive and dynamic
knowledge-based economy in the world’ by 2010. From this perspective,
even anti-discrimination laws and policies, as envisioned by the EU Race
Directive, do not so much aim at equality as allow a full utilisation of
society’s resources in the global competition. As Eichenhofer (2005: 2) put
it, ‘these people (women, handicapped, aged, and ethnic minorities) are to be
fully included in society and labour market of the member states, not least in
order to reduce the costs for social protection or welfare’. Overall, social
inclusion becomes narrowly tied to the labour market rather than the
nation-state at large, motivated by the image of society ‘as a machinery of
performance’ (Haahr 2004: 225).
In its economic instrumentalism, integration as ‘social inclusion’ is a
world apart from classic nation-building as cultural homogenisation.
However, there is still a ‘perfectionist’ dimension to it, and one with
paternalist, obligation-imposing possibilities, in the sense that being in
‘work’ is not just a means for an income, but is seen as of intrinsic
importance to an individual’s well-being, and thus to be pursued, or
imposed, for its own sake. The main purpose of social inclusion is social
cohesion, that is, order, not justice. This distinguishes social inclusion, as a
Foucauldian liberalism, from the Rawlsian liberalism of ‘equal opportu-
nities’, which had been the lode star of the classic welfare state:
Social inclusion is not about equality: ‘Social inclusion does not seek
the same . . . outcomes for citizens. It concentrates its attention . . . on the
absolute disadvantage of particular groups in society’ (ibid.: 22).
It is thus obvious that social inclusion, like the entire project of
‘integrating’ immigrants, is still a statist project, perhaps to ‘rescue the

In sum, the obligatory and repressive dimension of civic integration in
Europe cannot be decoupled from the non-selected quality of most of its
immigrants.
The comparison of civic integration policies in the Netherlands, France
and Germany revealed significant variation in their respective national
interpretations and implementations. Does this not confirm the persistence
of ‘national models’ of integration, and thus refute the central claim of this
paper? Unsurprisingly, the answer must be no. Most of the observed
variation runs counter to what the ‘national models’ (or rather, accumulated
stereotypes about a respective country and its policy) would predict. The
‘multicultural’ Netherlands adopted the most repressive variant of civic
integration. ‘Republican’ France, where the degree of articulation of its
‘philosophy’ of integration is still unmatched, now submits to Rawlsian
‘political liberalism’ (HCI 2003) that shuns cultural assimilation, while its
‘pragmatic’ stress on the principle of ‘becoming rapidly autonomous’
betrays an acceptance of the otherwise despised tenets of ‘neoliberalism’
(HCI 2001: 49). And ‘segregationist’ Germany has adopted the (hitherto)
least control-minded, most ‘Canadian’ variant of civic integration; even the
nastier possibilities that seem to be brewing there would only bring
Germany more firmly in line with its European neighbours, most notably
the Netherlands.
