Abstract
In all contemporary societies, immigration both enriches and presents new challenges for the functioning of social and political life. In multinational states, the ‘new arrivals’ enter societies that already contain added layers of institutional, political and social complexity due to the ‘old politics’ of ethnicity, culture, language and national identity. This context of existing deep diversity alters the stakes of immigration and integration for both receiving society and newcomers.
