“整合”研究中的一个根本问题是未能将经验性的“是”与规范性的“应该”分开：也就是说，未能将社会中正在发生的事情与对预期最终目标的隐含假设分开研究。一个至关重要的问题，卡斯尔斯等人。(2014 264页）所述，涉及移民及其后代如何"能够成为接受社会和国家的一部分"。他们指出，这一过程通常被称为整合，"但这可能意味着对这一过程应该走向何方的具体想法，因此我们更喜欢更中性的术语"整合"。这种偏好的一些学者，以避免“一体化”，有利于替代术语，必然导致缺乏连贯性的术语在整个文献。然而，不清楚的是，替代词是否避免了批评融合的人所指出的陷阱。其中一些批评者认为，这一概念是如此的令人敬畏，应该被放弃（Rytter，2018; Schinkel，2018）。然而，重要的是，我们必须找到共同的语言和明确的概念。正如Klarenbeek（2019）所指出的那样，如果找不到在这一领域进行研究的方法，就会使权力不平等和移民引起的成员问题得不到研究和解决。（另见Hadj Abdou，2019）。作者感谢她的同事Katharine Charsley在发展本章所借鉴的想法方面的合作，包括Spencer & Charsley 2021中对“整合”概念的批评，并提出了整合过程的定义和修订的启发式模型。
A fundamental problem in the study of ‘integration’has been a failure to separate the empirical is from the normative ought: that is, to study what is happening in society separately from implicit assumptions on a desired end-goal. A crucial question, Castles et al.(2014, p. 264) write, concerns how immigrants and their descendants “can become part of receiving societies and nations”. This process, they note, is most commonly referred to as integration,“but this can imply a specific idea of where the process should lead, so we prefer the more neutral term ‘incorporation’”. This preference of some scholars to avoid ‘integration’in favour of alternative terms has necessarily led to a lack of coherence in terminology across the literature. It is not clear, however, that alternative words have avoided the pitfalls that the critics of integration have identified. Some of those critics have argued that the concept is so fiawed it should be abandoned (Rytter, 2018; Schinkel, 2018). Yet, it is important that we do find both a common language and conceptual clarity. As Klarenbeek (2019) argues, a failure to find a way to conduct research in this area would leave the power inequalities and issues of membership that arise from migration unstudied and unresolved (see also Hadj Abdou, 2019).The author acknowledges with appreciation the collaboration of her colleague Katharine Charsley in developing ideas on which this chapter draws, including the analysis in Spencer & Charsley 2021 addressing critiques of the concept of ‘integration’and presenting a definition and revised heuristic model of integration processes.
