Integrarea beneficiarilor de protecție internațională
Integration of Beneficiaries of International Protection

Summary/Abstract: Starting from arguing the need to delimit the concept of refugees from that of international migrants and to support the idea that the solution to the optimal solution of the current refugee problem is their integration in host societies, the article aims to achieve, based on consulting the literature, a nominal and operational definition of the concept of social integration of beneficiaries of international protection. Although, in the literature, the concept of integration is often defined as chaotic, this article, starting from the common points of the process, identifies some general characteristics, thus highlighting two different levels of integration, namely one macro (the state of societal cohesion as a whole) and one individual (inclusion of groups and individuals in society). Also, out of the need to avoid confusion between integration and assimilation, the process must contain both inputs and outputs, so the increase in affinity for the new country can coexist with continued ties with the country of origin. In terms of content and process measurement indicators, it is relevant to follow the following categories of „markers and means” of integration: employment, housing, education, health, and civic integration.
