Centre Left debates – the numbing familiarity of apparently new approaches to immigration

Parties of the centre left should get a firmer grip on immigration and withhold rights from all those who fail to integrate argue contributors to an important new book on the future of social democracy. Isn’t that exactly what social democratic parties have been doing when in government in recent past decades? 
 
  The publication last month of After the Third Way – The Future of Social Democracy in Europe by the Policy Network has been the occasion for deep thought on whether the centre left is capable of pulling itself out of the ditch  it has been stuck for since the onset of the still developing economic crisis.
There is much to pick over in the sixteen essays in this volume, but the one we will go straight to is the contribution on immigration by the Dutch and Flemish sociologists, Rene Cuperus and Mark Elchardus.  Their thesis can be simply stated:  immigration is one of the most important reasons why social democracy stands in such low esteem amongst the voting publics of Europe today, and the reason for this is that centre left parties are seen as being chiefly responsible for policies which have produced the ‘failed integration’ of immigrant communities across the continent.
For Cuperus and Elchardus the evidence for this record of failure can be read from the evidence of lower attainment for children from immigrant backgrounds in school systems and the figures which show higher levels of unemployment.
