Abstract

This paper aims to explore immigration related policies implemented by the European Union countries in order to identify common patterns which can be interpreted as integration regimes. We build our analysis on data from 2010 Migration Integration Policy Index. Latent class analysis is used for obtaining number and structure of European integration regimes. Profiles of the regimes are given by the combination of scores obtained by countries with respect to seven different policy areas: labour market mobility, family reunion, education, political participation, long term residence, access to nationality and anti-discrimination. Our results point to the existence of three immigration integration regimes at the level of EU countries.
