New Publication by Dr. Trygve Ugland

Dr. Trygve Ugland, Department of Politics and International Studies, has just published a new monograph entitled Policy Learning From Canada: Reforming Scandinavian Immigration and Integration Policies with University of Toronto Press. By focusing on three Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Norway, and Sweden), Dr. Ugland examines the international relevance of the Canadian immigration and integration policy model. A thorough study of public documents, including government proposals, documents from parliamentary debates, and reports by ad-hoc expert commissions reveals how the Canadian immigration model has shaped the reform process in Scandinavia.

An article penned by Dr. Ugland and published in The Conversation Canada, “How Canada is inspiring Scandinavian countries on immigration,” provides a thought-provoking introduction to his new publication. This article has piqued the interest of media outlets in Canada and abroad, demonstrating the importance and relevance of Dr. Ugland’s research in light of tumultuous debates on immigration and integration currently held around the world.
