Migrant integration is usually studied in four dimensions: economic, political, social and cultural. The cultural sphere seems to be the most ambiguous, but also the one that induces various interpretations as it touches upon core norms and values held both by migrants and by the receiving society. This paper aims to reconstruct research approaches to cultural integration and integration policy. Beside the receiving country’s language, that is the obvious differentiating factor of cultural integration, other aspects have been defined: migrants’ religion, knowledge of the receiving country’s symbolic culture, maintenance and transmission of cultural patterns, cultural identity. Furthermore, indicators which appear to adequately measure the effectiveness of integration activities have been assigned to the predefined aspects of cultural integration. They have been confronted with indicators used within integration policies of selected EU states and with expert statements (collected within the Delphi method‐based survey) on given aspects of policies aimed at cultural integration.

在欧洲背景下衡量移民融合与融合政策的文化维度：困境与讨论1

移民融合通常在四个方面进行研究：经济，政治，社会和文化。文化领域似乎是最模棱两可的，但在涉及移民和接受社会所持有的核心规范和价值观时，也引起了各种解释。本文旨在重构文化融合和融合政策的研究方法。除了接受国的语言（这是文化融合的明显区别因素）外，还定义了其他方面：移民的宗教信仰，对接受国象征文化的了解，文化模式的维持和传播，文化认同。此外，似乎已充分衡量融合活动有效性的指标已分配给文化融合的预定方面。
