Refugee integration policies. A comparison of the Hungarian and Italian case

The volume is an outcome of the Project Human Rights of Asylum Seekers in Italy and Hungary – Influence of International and EU Law on Domestic Actions, jointly carried out by the Institute for International Legal Studies (ISGI) of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) and the Institute for Legal Studies of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS). Started in 2016, the Project aimed at analyzing, in comparative perspective, the dynamics of migration law and practice that have developed in Italy and Hungary from the ‘refugee crisis’ of 2015 onwards. The Chapter “Refugee Integration Policies: A Comparison of the Hungarian and Italian Case” focuses on the integration of asylum seekers and refugees in Hungary and Italy. The purpose is to demonstrate the possibility of positive social-economic impacts on both countries if advantageous integration policies are used.
