Studien baseras på tidigare rapporter, litteratur och andra dokument från offentliga myndigheter vilka kompletteras med egen insamlad data. Huvud data grundar sig på intevjuer som genomförts med olika aktörer inom detta område. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur etableringsreformen fungerar i praktiken och belysa de hinder som finns på vägen in i det svenska samhället. Studien bekräftar tidigare forskningsresultat om etableringsreformen som visar på att reformen inte är individanpassad utan att det finns en stor samordningsproblematik. Vår studie visar att nyanlända möjligheter till egen försörjning och ett arbete är väldigt små. Bristande integration och fördomar hos vissa arbetsgivare påverkar de nyanländas möjligheter till jobb. Valfrihetssystem som ger möjlighet för deltagaren att byta lots när som helst under etableringsperisonen utan att motivera varför, undermineras kvalitetssäkringen och utsätter systemet för risker som t ex bestickning.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka, förstå och reflektera kring de faktorer som kan ha bidragit till sex individers, som vid ankomsten räknades som ensamkommande flyktingbarn, integrering in i det svenska samhället. För att kunna besvara våra frågeställningar har vi valt att använda oss av kvalitativ metod då den dels möjliggör en djupare förståelse för oss men även då vi vill få fram deras subjektiva upplevelser av deras integration. Vi grundade vår analys på fem vetenskapliga artiklar samt teorier och begrepp så som; Angel & Hjerns (2004) Flyktingkrismodell, Beckmans (2011) Integrationsteori, Kamalis (2006) ”Vi” och ”Dom” teori, Goffmans (2006) Stigmateori och Berger & Luckmanns (2008) Socialisationsteori. Resultatet visade att respondenterna upplevde att språk var en viktig faktor i integreringen och att värdfamiljen haft en stor betydelse för dem. Respondenterna tycker att alla ensamkommande flyktingbarn bör ta del av att bo hos en värdfamilj. / The purpose of this study is to investigate, understand and reflect on the factors that may have contributed to six individuals, who upon arrival were counted as unaccompanied refugee, integration into Swedish society. In order to answer our questions, we have chosen to use a qualitative approach which permitts a deeper understanding for ourselves as well as obtaining their subjective experiences of their integration. We based our analysis on five scientific papers and theories and concepts such as; Angel & Hjern (2004) Refugee Crisis Model, Beckman (2011) Integration Theory, Kamalis (2006), "We" and "Them" theory, Goffman (2006) Stigma theory and Berger & Luckmann (2008) Socializations theory. The results showed that the respondents felt that the language was an important factor in the integration and that the host family had a great significance for them. The respondents think that all unaccompanied refugee should take part of living with a host family. Keywords: Unaccompanied refugee children, Socialization, Integration, Stigma.

The coloured population in Britain tend to settle in her main ports and form distinct social groupings. Their origin and development are similar in most cases. The core of these settlements was established by coloured seamen and their population grew by gradual increases during normal periods and by large influxes of various categories of coloured men, resulting from two world wars. The groups also increased in size and were stabilized by miscegenation between the immigrants and white women or British born coloured women. Only during the last twenty-five years has interest been aroused in sociological studies of this section of the British population. Little's survey of the Cardiff Negro community is the first comprehensive study of its kind in the United Kingdom. Since then, studies have been made by Richmond, Silberman and Spice; and others are in progress. Little traced the historical development of colour prejudice in Britain from 1660 A.D. to the present time. He pointed out the social and cultural factors giving rise to these attitudes, and how they operate against coloured people resident in Britain to-day. Silberman and Spice made a study of the relationship between coloured and white children in six Liverpool schools by applying the 'Friendship and Rejection' psychological tests. From the results obtained, they concluded that prejudice is not generally experienced by mixed racial groups of children. Richmond was concerned with the adjustment and assimilation of West Indian workers into British society. He calls his investigation a case history study based mainly on records of individual case files and other reports and documents. A number of interviews were also made. He has shown how economic insecurity and 'stereotype' influence racial prejudice. His main thesis, however, is to show the correlation between the high degree of skill in the West Indian worker and his adjustment to British society. The relevance of these studies to the problem of social integration is obvious. As Little has shown, colour prejudice is one of the principal obstacles to the assimilation of coloured minorities into British society. His work is a major contribution to the field of race relations as it establishes a base from which other racial problems may be investigated. Richmond's research is concerned with one category of coloured people only, that is, selected West Indians who were skilled men. The data is of value to this study for purposes of comparison with the adjustment of other categories and groups of coloured persons, such as workers who are unskilled or are of other ethnic groups. The findings of Silberman and Spice would have been more convincing had the data been more adequate. Nevertheless, the study sheds light on an important aspect of race relations. These studies, with the exception of the last mentioned, are concerned primarily with Negroes. The Moslem population had still to be examined.

This thesis is an analysis of the public service integration, a New Public Management initiative, in a transitional context such as Kazakhstan. This thesis focuses on three main perspectives – the impact of the service integration policy on those who was involved in the implementation process; the problematic aspects of service integration in a transitional context; and the use of “organisational learning” and “communities of practice” in analysing service integration. By combining New Public Management theory (in particular, the ideas on decentralising management and customer-orientation), service integration theory and organisational learning theories, and rich empirical data, this thesis found that public service integration was implemented in the Kazakhstani context to a limited extent. Through the use of triangulation of methods which incorporated case study, interviews, participant observation, virtual ethnography and documentary analysis, this thesis captured complex, non-linear and diverse power dimensions and relationships between the new single-window centres, traditional service providers and customers. The development of the “communities of practice” among the front-line personnel was analysed within service integration policy context. Promoting service integration is seen as beneficial for both service providers and customers in Kazakhstan, but there are both conceptual and practical challenges. Although significant progress in public service improvement was achieved and noted in the research, this thesis found that the One Stop Shops inherited relations-based, patronage system and corruption from the traditional bureaucracy. It found that the new technologies, while improving access to the public services, were used to extend centralised control across the regions. This thesis also found that organisational learning did take place, however, in the underdeveloped form of adaptive learning, with the lack of critical reflection on the existing ways of working. This thesis concluded that the institutional framework and culture prevailing in the Kazakhstani traditional bureaucracy constrained implementation of the service integration policy to a full extent.

Studien undersöker hur utrikes födda män lyckats finna ett arbete och deras intryck av den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Studien frågar sig hur de sökt och funnit sina jobb, vad deras intryck är av de tjänstemän de mött, vilka förbättringar de kan tänka sig utifrån deras egna erfarenheter samt hur de ser på framtiden. Empirin består av fyra intervjuer med fyra olika män från Asien och Mellanöstern. Resultaten visar att informell rekrytering spelat stor roll, men att ingen av de högskoleutbildade informanterna lyckats få ett tillfredsställande arbete inom sitt utbildningsområde. Deras strategi för att få ett bättre arbete är att vidareutbilda sig i Sverige.

This paper is primarily concerned with developing the theory of real-valued functions of bounded variation and those ideas which are closely related to this main topic. In addition to this, some emphasis has been placed on the relationship of the theory of functions of bounded variation to specific areas of analysis. In particular, integration theory has been chosen as the vehicle to demonstrate this connection.

Under de senaste åren har en stor mängd nyanlända barn kommit till Sverige som flyktingar. En hel del har skrivits och debatterats kring hur det påverkar skolan. I denna uppsats har jag valt att undersöka hur fritidshemmen anpassar sin verksamhet för att hantera nyanlända elever samt hur de arbetar med trygghetsskapande och språkutveckling? Studien har gjorts genom intervjuer på två fritidsavdelningar på en skola i Stockholm som tagit emot nyanlända elever som inte talar svenska. Resultatet visar att fritidshemmet inte arbetat efter någon specifik modell. En modell som skulle kunna användas som grund i fritidshemmens arbete med nyanlända elever är STOP-modellen. / During the last years many new refugees have arrived in Sweden, many of these are children. In media there has been many debates on how this would affect the schools in general. In this thesis I have chosen to examine how the schools recreation centres adopt their operations to cope with the newly arrived pupils with a starting point in the official curriculum. The study is based on interviews at two school recreation centres in Stockholm who have received newly arrived pupils who do not speak Swedish. The result shows that the recreational centres have not really used any specific model to plan their operations. One model that could be used by the recreational centres and their work with newly arrived pupils is the so-called STOP-model.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University. / The purpose of the study is twofold: (1) to bring into objective focus the actual problems many new nations of America now face--i.e. those attendant to the process of building rapidly modern unitary societies from previously segmented, illiterate and primarily tradition-oriented populations; and (2) to broaden and develop social science theory to deal with this relatively new phenomenon. Morocco is our case study. It is immediately recognized that in order for any society, in sociological terms, to exist as an on-going system, it must have a minimal degree of social integration. The concept of social integration has been developed and defined in the context of already established societies. It implies, of course; that a social structure exists and that part of that social structure is devoted to integrative functions [TRUNCATED]
