Turkish Migration in Stuttgart: Potential and Limits of ‘Integrationism’

This chapter initially outlines this development of integration and integration policy in Stuttgart and outlines the unfolding of the pandemic in this context. It then concentrates on analysing how the dense web of institutional and inter-personal cooperation between Turkish migrant organizations and local state bodies has helped people to cope with the pandemic. The chapter concludes that next to obvious potentials, the pandemic has also revealed some of the limits of Stuttgart’s ‘integrationism’ policy approach.
