Year: 2019

Type: report

Abstract: This report compares the strategies to counter segregation which the governments of Denmark, Sweden and Norway\nlaunched in 2018. The comparison is conducted at two levels. Firstly, the report carries out a comparison of the “problem\ndefinition” in each country, looking at factual, explanatory and normative claims made about segregation. Secondly, the\nreport compares the overall policy design and combination of focus areas of each strategy. The strategies are found to\ndiffer significantly both with regard to the highlighted dimensions of segregation, the causal explanations which are\nadvanced, and the proposed policies which are intended to address segregation.
