Summary
Migration in Europe has been a normal state of affairs since late antiquity. Subject to conscious as well as unconscious change, it has turned the continent's societies into inhomogeneous and shifting formations. Of course, change brought about by migration is marked by tension between assimilation, the retaining of identities, and the search for new ones. And while religion and religious transition are significant factors in the process, the state occupies an ambivalent position between economic (development) interests, the organisation of society, and general acceptance.
