ABSTRACT
This chapter attempts to show what models different forms of integration policy are based on. First of all, the unit that should be integrated is the individual person. Secondly, there is not necessarily any requirement of assimilation in this liberal model. Thirdly, even though the individual is not required to be assimilated, they also cannot demand that any consideration should be given to the distinctive characteristics of the individual. Fourthly, by the fact that the individual should be free and autonomous, no unit whether it be family, relatives, a religious movement, or a cultural community has the right to make demands on a certain way-of-thinking or acting by the individual. Fifthly, no idea or requirement exists for having a kind of emotional support for the society or nation as such. Sixthly, a measure such as affirmative action or preferential treatment in education, jobs, or political positions can only be justified.
