Recognizing the political nature of knowledge, this chapter dissects state-of-the-art discourses on integration in the field of migration studies. Seeking to explore the integration(ist) paradigm at work, the chapter asks: how is integration discursively constructed and measured in research? The basis for the analysis are recent journal articles and monographs published in respected migration-related publication outlets and dealing with migrant integration. After presenting the overall trends in the field of migration research, the remainder of the chapter examines how ‘integration’ is framed, measured and justified, what kind of categories are being produced or cemented in research, and how the concerns they address resonate with national political agendas. This chapter presents a typology of the various ways scholars conceptualize ‘integration’, linking it to psychological adaptation, social inclusion, cultural homogeneity, or social cohesion, with various migrant figures emerging from these perspectives—namely, the (non)adaptable, the victim, the culturally different, and the deviant, respectively. Additionally, it demonstrates how a neocolonial and nationalist lens on mobility and diversity positions integration measurement as a tool for social differentiation along the modern/unmodern divide. A certain ‘anomiephobia’—a distaste for difference, coupled with a longing for social continuity and order—underpins much of integration research.
