Evelyn Ersanilli
I am a senior researcher at the department of Political Science at the University of Amsterdam.
Previously I worked at the department of Sociology of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the International Migration Institute at the Oxford Department of International Development and the Migration Integration and Transnationalization Unit of the Social Science Research Centre Berlin (WZB).
My research interests are migrant rights and immigrant integration.
I teach research methods, introductory statistics and course on citizenship in the context of immigration and emigration.
I've been involved in several large data collection projects, including:
- EUMAGINE: mixed method study in 4 developing and transition countries;
- the Six Country Immigrant Integration Comparative Study (SCIICS) a telephone survey among Turkish immigrants, Moroccan immigrants and a native reference group in six European countries.
- PhD project on Turkish immigrants and their descendants including a telephone survey and in-depth interviews in France, Germany and the Netherlands.

This paper explores the effects of integration policies on the socio-cultural integration (i.e. host country identification, language proficiency & use and interethnic social contacts) of immigrants. The data come from a comparative study conducted in France, Germany and the Netherlands, three countries that are generally seen as exponents of different integration policy regimes. To minimise the role of confounding variance the data were collected in a quasi-experimental design, using the same sampling methods and looking at the same narrowly defined target population in all three countries. The target group is limited to Turkish immigrants from two rural regions of Turkey who immigrated at the time of guest-worker recruitment (i.e. before 1975) and their descendants.
Three hypotheses on the relation between policies and socio-cultural integration are tested. The results indicate that policies that grant immigrants a high degree of individual equality have a positive impact on socio-cultural integration. Policies that accommodate diversity seem to have a negative effect, with the exception of host country identification. The paper ends with a discussion of several alternative explanations of the findings and suggestions for further research.
