"Sweden and Canada in transformation? - A qualitative analysis about governmental rhetoric focused on multiculturalism and civic integration.) Integration stole the spotlight and became the focus of political discussions after some intense years of increased immigration. Rising fears about failed socio-economic and socio-political integration caused many states to make changes in their integration policy's. However, the content varies considerably between countries and do not always reflect the state of the political discourse. Therefore, this study analyses political statements using ideal types to find out whether two specific integration concepts, multiculturalism and civic integration, that has gotten much attention in both academic and political circles, can be found to have changed in Sweden's and Canada's political discourse. It seeks to describe specifically if the political discourse on the highest level focused on civic integration and multiculturalism, has changed due to increased immigration and in face of new challenges between 2011-2017. The result implies that Canada's political discourse 2011 reflected multiculturalism and then fluctuated between the years investigated but turned back to being more coloured by multiculturalism. The same fluctuating pattern is found in results for Sweden's political discourse, but the country's discourse stronger reflected civic integration both 2011 and 2017.
