摘要:For many years,European societies have been engaged with the issue of international migration from various aspects associated with the reception and integration of migrants and the reactions of the autochthon societies to them.The composition of European migration is highly diverse.Many migrants arrived in Europe from former colonies;some arrived as labour migrants in the aftermath of the Second World War.The end of the Soviet Union and the emergence of the European Union and its expansion have also served as important triggers for migration into Europe.More recently,conflicts in Africa and the Middle East have also led to large numbers of migrants into Europe from these regions.In this Research topic of Frontiers:Migration and Society,we aim to provide a platform for researchers to present a new insight into migration and immigrants in Europe that has a sound theoretical foundation and is based on empirical evidence.This special issue of Frontiers Migration and Society was inspired by papers presented at the 4th International European Social Survey Conference,held in Mannheim in 2019 and aims to provide ESS data-based contributions related to cultural,attitudinal or value-related differences between individuals with and without an immigrant background,or between different migrant minorities in Europe.With this special issue we encouraged potential authors to bring new insights and address issues,such as:the impact of societal diversity in the European cultures;the effect of cultural shifts on the construction of more inclusive societies or,conversely,on the promotion of exclusionary processes by boosting previously latent cleavages;and identifying the nature and diversity of mechanisms underlying observed trends across different migrant minorities in different countries.
