Bridging the Gaps: Linking Research to Public Debates and Policy Making on Migration and Integration

What is the use of research in public debates and policy-making on immigration and integration?

Why are there such large gaps between migration debates and migration realities, and how can they be reduced? 'Bridging the Gaps' provides a unique set of testimonies and analyses of these questions by researchers and policy experts who have been deeply involved in attempts to link social science research to public policies. 'Bridging the Gaps' argues that we must go beyond the prevailing focus on the research-policy nexus by considering how the media, public opinion, and other dimensions of public debates can interact with research and policy-processes.
