This<br />involves an increasing role for NGOs in immigrant settlement<br />provision through state-NGO ‘partnerships’. By exploring<br />immigration and settlement policy in a comparative context,<br />our main objective is to analyze the role of nonprofits in<br />settlement and integration service delivery, as well as their<br />activities aimed at promoting immigrant well-being and social<br />justice in neoliberal times.</p> ER -
