Migráció, integráció és politika Nagy- Britanniában

Absztrakt

This study makes an attempt to present the connections between migration, integration and politics in Great Britain. The author concentrates on analysing the achievements of the Cameron-led governments from 2010 to the Brexit referendum in June 2016. The study wishes to provide an overview of the major government measures aiming at reducing the number of immigrants arriving in Britain and also investigates the reasons why the multiculturalist model has, by now, proved to be a failure. The author thinks it is important to emphasize the relation between the British conservatives’ attitude to the European
Union and the issue of immigration. The study shows that immigration, both from non-European countries and from the Union, has come into the limelight of British politics, therefore it is an important topic for research, especially in the light of the result of the referendum.
