Conclusions: renegotiated remoteness and the social impact of immigration

Chapter 14 in Assessing the Social Impact of Immigration in Europe, 2023, pp 237-244 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This concluding chapter summarizes the major findings of the volume. Three overarching conclusions are made: (1) The contributions confirm the potential immigration has when it comes to revitalising these regions, but the findings also suggest that this potential remains underutilised. The key to utilise the potential immigrants have in revitalising remote and rural areas lays in how well and how fast they can establish on the labour market and participate in social life. (2) Most remote and rural regions struggle missing markets and market failures; New Public Management oriented welfare services and integration programmes makes the integration of TCNs more difficult. (3) Although still in its infancy, the TCNs in remote and rural areas are involved in not only renegotiating and redefining remoteness, but also in reframing migration itself. Notwithstanding this, that these processes have started bodes well for the future.
