Immigration management and civic integration policies: a prospective analysis of the intention to establish a civic turn in Portugal

Abstract

This article intends to explore the apparent arrival in Portugal of a European dynamic of civic inte­gration policies as a way to promote integration of third­‑country natio­nals. It will therefore be relevant to revisit the concept of integration, as well as the evolution of the corres­ponding European Union policy. The article ultimately discusses the possibilities unfolded by the new Action Plan on Migration recently presented by the Portuguese govern­ment.
