RT Book, Section T1 Immigration and the Construction of Public Philosophy (ies) of Integration in Spain A1 Pinyol Jiménez, Gemma A1 Ferrero Turrión, Ruth AB This chapter analyses the ways in which the central Government has articulated its own public philosophy on integration and then moves into an examination on how this philosophy has been built in the region of Catalonia. In addition to reforming the Spanish Immigration Law in 2000, the Spanish Government launched the 'Global Programme to Regulate and Coordinate Foreign Residents Affairs and Immigration in Spain'. The so-called Plan Greco was a multiyear initiative adopted in 2001. The Socialist Party (PSOE) won the general elections and among other various proposals it proposed the reform and development of a new immigration policy. One central part of that new policy was the so-called Strategic Plan for Citizenship and Integration. At the end of the 20th century, Spain and Catalonia have been transformed into immigration destinations, and immigration has become an inherent element in their social and political agenda.
