Abstract
Since integration depends on the adaptation by both refugees and host communities and includes participation in the wider community by refugees as well as increasing social relations outside one’s ethnic group, we adapt Alba and Nee’s updating of the assimilation approach to define refugee integration as “the decline of an ethnic distinction and its corollary cultural and social differences”; (Alba and Nee 2003, p. 11).
