Popis
Immigration is one of the most challenging issues that modern democracies have to face; it is an important and basic trend in global demographic development. Today's deepening globalisation and the resultant economic integration has prompted many people to migrate. Western democracies, such as Germany, with their political stability and economic prosperity, have always attracted immigrants. Canada, where 21% of the population are immigrants, is another country that has a long history of immigration. The influx of immigrants, however, has to be regulated. This could be made possible only with the help of a corresponding immigration policy – one of the key elements of a country's policy making. The aim of the paper is to present an overview and compare the immigration policy systems of Canada and Germany and how the two countries manage to effectively regulate and govern the ethnic diversity of their societies.
L'immigration est l'un des défis principaux pour les démocraties modernes ; il s'agit d'une tendance importante dans le développement de la démographie moderne. La mondialisation croissante d'aujourd'hui et l'intégration économique en résultant ont incité beaucoup de personnes à migrer. Les démocraties occidentales, telles que l'Allemagne, avec leur stabilité politique et essor économique ont toujours attiré des immigrés. Le Canada, où 21% de la population est constituée d'immigrés, est un autre exemple de pays avec une longue histoire d'immigration. Cependant, l'afflux d'immigrants doit être réglementé. Ceci ne pourrait se faire qu'à l'aide d'une politique d'immigration appropriée – l'un des éléments clé de la politique d'un Etat. L'objet de cet article est de donner une vue d'ensemble et de comparer les politiques d'immigration du Canada et de l'Allemagne. Il va s'agir de rechercher comment les deux pays réussissent à contrôler et à réglementer la diversité ethnique de leur société.
