Is Czechia an immigration country? Evidence from civic integration policies

Original language description

In Western Europe, the first integration policies emerged in the 1980&apos;s as a reaction to the long-term settlement of foreign workers, originally perceived as temporary migration, transforming these countries into immigration ones. Based on this West-European experience, the article claims that Czechia has evolved into an immigration country in the last two decades, providing evidence from its integration policies. It shows how Czechia implements so-called &quot;civic integration policies&quot;, a novel form of integration approach promoted by West-European countries since the end of the 1990&apos;s, inquiring in what aspects Czech civic integration policies resemble and differ from the West-European examples. For this purpose, the research offers a qualitative comparison with Austria as a representative of such a West-European experience. As a result, it brings new knowledge on immigrant integration policies in a region neglected in migration studies, while supporting the argument that immigration to Czechia has turned into a constant trend, requiring a complex set of integration policies in order to tackle successfully this new reality.
