IRIS, No. 1, 1987. This is the first issue of a quarterly journal that will be devoted to the political and social implications of demographic trends in France, with particular attention to immigration. This first issue is concerned with the problem of how foreigners can obtain French nationality and contains a debate in which both a liberal and a strict approach to this question are outlined. It also includes a history of the nationality question, a review of changes in the regulations governing the acquisition of French nationality, and the current law and proposals to change it. This bulletin is concerned with activities of the national demographic societies of the Scandinavian countries.
Information is presented on the societies' activities and on research projects in progress.
An unannotated bibliography of works by Scandinavian demographers follows. Recent demographic trends in Nordic countries are then reviewed. The bulletin concludes with a list of names and addresses of members of the societies.
