Abstract

Theoretical background and objectives

Little is known about whether and how integration policies might influence citizens' views towards immigrants. This relatively unexplored topic compels sociological inquiry, since integration policies represent contextual-level constraints, which might affect individual-level outcomes in a number of ways. Surprisingly, up to this date no one has provided an evidence-based answer to the question whether, to what extent and how national-level arrangements of immigration policies affect citizens' perceptions of immigrants as ethnic threat.

Description

It is widely acknowledged that economies in the 21st century are heavily dependent upon knowledge. In this context, the university does not only play a critical role in the performance of any advanced society in the OECD world, but it has also played that role in expanding the stock of useful knowledge for a long time.
