Workshop--Rethinking Integration: Reconciling the Needs of the Immigrant Populations and the Security of Transatlantic Societies
This two-day workshop is the third in a series organized by the University of Pittsburgh’s Ford Institute for Human Security in conjunction with the Fondation Nationale des Sciences Politiques (Sciences Po) In two workshops held in Pittsburgh in the fall of 2005 and Paris in the spring of 2006, the assembled group examined the linkages between immigration, integration and security in attempting to develop a systematic understanding of how the policies of border control, internal surveillance and civil liberties have been played out within Europe -- at the supranational level of the EU, as well as among European national governments -- and in the US. Questions considered in the project concerned whether policies on the two continents had converged; the character and relative success of various policies; and the consequences of those policies.
