Abstract

James and Janmaat set out the rationale for the study taking the January 2015 attacks in Paris as a starting point. While Britain and France are often considered to have taken divergent approaches to immigrant integration, both have been the site of occurrences of civil disorder and domestic terrorism since 2001. In both cases, such incidents have raised questions about the success of the countries’ models of immigrant integration, with the education system often being the focus of such debates. This leads to the central question of whether, given the commonalities in the challenges they face, the two countries are converging in their approaches to immigrant integration and to the schooling of migrants and their children in particular.
