Abstract:

Since the new millennium, the process of globalization has accelerated and international migration has become a hot issue. The current research on the social integration of immigrants in European and American academic circles has three characteristics: first, the dimension of social integration of international immigrants is diversified; Secondly, the initiative of social integration of immigrants and its shaping role in community space has become a research hotspot; There are “methodological nationalism” and “the value tendency of political correctness” in the research perspective. In contrast, the domestic academic research on the social integration of international immigrants can accurately grasp the impact of national background, political system, immigration policy on the social integration of immigrants, as well as the characteristics of the rapid flow of international migrants in the world's cities in the context of globalization, and pay full attention to the diversity of migrants and the openness of integration. The deficiencies lie in the lack of discussion on the multi-scale and multidimensional degree of social integration, and in the lack of comparison of the path, mode and mechanism of social integration among different ethnic groups and different types of immigrants. In the new era of China’s development, it is necessary for domestic scholars to go beyond the thinking of Western researchers and explore the “Chinese approach for the social integration of international immigrants”, so as to provide new ideas for China’s cities to solve the social problems brought by the international migration under the context of globalization.

Key words: international migration, social integration, assimilation and adaptation, pluralistic coexistence, spatial segregation

摘要:

21世纪以来,全球化进程加速,国际移民成为研究热点问题,而当前欧美学界针对移民社会融合的研究具有三方面特征:首先,国际移民社会融合的维度呈现多样化;其次,移民社会融合的主动性及其对社区空间的塑造作用成为研究热点;最后,研究视角存在“方法论上的民族主义”和“政治正确的价值倾向”。与之相对,国内学界对国际移民社会融合的研究能够准确地把握国家背景、政治制度、移民政策对移民社会融合的影响作用;以及在全球化背景下国际移民在世界城市快速流动的旅居者特性,且充分注意到移民的多元性和融合的开放性。而不足之处在于,缺少对于社会融合多尺度、多维度的探讨;缺乏对于不同族裔、不同类型的移民群体间社会融合路径、模式、机制的比较。新形势下,国内研究有必要超越西方学者的思考,探讨国际移民社会融合的中国路径,为我国城市解决全球化带来的国际移民融合问题提供新思路。
