This issue touches upon aspects of finding a balance between ensuring a high level of social guarantees for immigrants, on the one hand, and the economic stability of welfare states, on the other. The impetus was given by the 2015-2016 migration crisis, which demonstrated the inability of the European Union to promptly develop appropriate management strategies for the reception, accommodation, and integration of new arrivals. The aim of this study is to analyze the models and approaches to immigrant integration. Using comparative methodology, the authors argue that traditional models of assimilation and multiculturalism have lost their relevance and have been replaced by the model of civic integration as a response to the challenges faced by the Nordic countries as a result of the migration crisis. Adaptation to modern problems associated with the intensification of migration flows to the Nordic countries marks a “civic turn” in immigrant integration policies. The conducted analysis of state regulation in the field of immigrant integration in Denmark, I celand, Norway, Finland, and Sweden shows common trends, determined primarily by the logic of economic expediency. This allows the authors to conclude that immigrant integration policies are converging, which qualitatively distinguishes the current state of affairs from the period from the 1970s to the migration crisis, when the policies of the Northern European countries were characterized by multidirectionality.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Эффективность политик интеграции иммигрантов остается актуальным в академической литературе и политической практике вопросом, затрагивающим аспекты поиска баланса между обеспечением высокого уровня социальных гарантий иммигрантам, с одной стороны, и экономической стабильности государств всеобщего благоденствия - с другой. Импульс данному вопросу придал миграционный кризис 2015-2016 гг., продемонстрировавший неспособность Европейского Союза оперативно выработать подходящие управленческие стратегии по приему, размещению и интеграции вновь прибывающих. Цель исследования заключается в анализе моделей и подходов к интеграции иммигрантов. Авторы, используя компаративистскую методологию, утверждают, что традиционные модели ассимиляции и мультикультурализма утратили свою релевантность, а им на смену пришла модель гражданской интеграции как ответ на вызовы, с которыми столкнулись государства Северной Европы в результате миграционного кризиса. Адаптация к современным проблемам, связанным с усилением миграционных потоков в страны Северной Европы, знаменует собой «гражданский поворот» в политиках интеграции иммигрантов. Проведенный анализ государственного регулирования в области интеграции иммигрантов в Дании, Исландии, Норвегии, Финляндии и Швеции свидетельствует об общих трендах, обусловленных в первую очередь логикой экономической целесообразности. Это позволяет авторам сделать вывод о конвергенции политик интеграции иммигрантов, что качественно отличает текущее положение дел от периода с 1970-х гг. и до миграционного кризиса, когда политики рассматриваемых государств характеризовались разнонаправленностью.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>immigrant integration policy</kwd><kwd>naturalization policy</kwd><kwd>civic integration</kwd><kwd>civic turn</kwd><kwd>Denmark</kwd><kwd>Finland</kwd><kwd>Iceland</kwd><kwd>Norway</kwd><kwd>Sweden</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>политика интеграции иммигрантов</kwd><kwd>политика натурализации</kwd><kwd>гражданская интеграция</kwd><kwd>гражданский поворот</kwd><kwd>Дания</kwd><kwd>Исландия</kwd><kwd>Норвегия</kwd><kwd>Финляндия</kwd><kwd>Швеция</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Esping-­Andersen G.
