Migrants in the city: Rethinking the governance of integration in an age of ‘super-diversity’
‘Super-diversity’, which has resulted from mass immigration, has led to major shifts in the ethnic demographic composition of English cities, and has also created many challenges for local authorities. In this respect, segregation, which characterises some urban areas, is a dominant issue. Following...

This shift has been cemented in the plethora of reports published by successive governments, but the government’s retreat can be questioned in many ways: Firstly, the government’s cuts to the funding allocated to local authorities has had a severe impact on those welcoming the highest number of migrants, as well as on Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) groups, by limiting their actions; secondly, as a further result of this cut, the numerous local stakeholders involved in the integration of migrants have created a complex and often confusing ‘multilevel local’ governance of integration. Moreover, the ineffectiveness of community relations programmes in tackling segregation should compel the government to play an active role in this national issue. La « super-diversité » et l’arrivée massive de migrants ont entraîné des changements démographiques majeurs dans la composition ethnique des villes anglaises. Cet état de fait a également posé de nombreux défis aux autorités locales. A cet égard, la ségrégation, qui caractérise certaines zones urbaines, est un enjeu dominant. Suite à la publication du rapport de Ted Cantle sur les émeutes raciales, qui souligna que les communautés fonctionnaient sur la base de « vies parallèles », les autorités locales ont dû prendre les devants sur la question de l’intégration en mettant en œuvre des mesures adéquates pour promouvoir la community cohesion. En effet, on considère que les villes sont plus à même de répondre aux enjeux qui les concernent au premier chef. En définissant les villes comme des acteurs clés de la gestion de l’intégration, un virage local a été observé dans la gouvernance de l’intégration en Angleterre. Ce tournant a été entériné dans la pléthore de rapports publiés par les gouvernements qui se sont succédés. Mais ce désengagement du gouvernement des politiques d’intégration peut être remis en cause à bien des égards : d’une part, la réduction des financements alloués aux collectivités locales impacte sévèrement celles qui accueillent le plus grand nombre de migrants en limitant leurs actions ; deuxièmement, les nombreux acteurs locaux impliqués dans l’intégration des migrants créent une gouvernance locale de l’intégration à plusieurs niveaux, complexe, voire confuse. Enfin, l’inefficacité des programmes pour la promotion des relations dans la réduction de la ségrégation doit appeler le gouvernement à prendre davantage ses responsabilités sur un enjeu d’intérêt national. |
