dc.description.abstractThe existence of national integration policies does not imply that such policies are effective. This research examines the integration policies in place for Canada, Hungary, and, Sweden. Factoring in each country’s history and present-day affiliations with nationalism, I examine the extent to which Canadian immigration policy demonstrates nationalism/nationalistic ideals in comparison to similar policies in Hungary and Sweden. Referencing the Migration Integration Policy Index and the Sustainable Governance Indicators, the cross-national comparison of these countries is supported through standardized data. Drawing on the theoretical work of Ernest Gellner to explain the creation of nationalism and its sustainment in the modern era, the research finds the active presence of nationalism in each country of analysis. Nationalism influences the immigration and integration policies of each country studied and subsequently, hinders the ability for immigrants to foster a sense of belonging. This research addresses the importance of belonging, both for immigrants and for the country to which they have immigrated. This research provides recommendations for effective policies of integration, reimagined institutional processes, and further explorative research into integration policy’s impacts on gender and family.en_US
