Description: "Written from a pan-European
perspective, this book examines the decision-making
processes in immigration and integration policies in Europe across
decades, focusing on several key moments of Europe’s postwar history.
The analysis of factors taken into consideration by states in key moments of
immigration policy (re)formulation shows that Europe is moving away from
rational, economic arguments towards more political ones. This book contributes
to the theoretical and practical debate regarding immigration and integration
policies by arguing that – contrary to assumptions – immigration policy should
not be treated as having precedence before integration policy. It also reflects
on the growing anti-immigration
sentiments as well as the securitisation and
criminalisation of migration issues that are fuelled by right-wing
politics.
This book will be of key interest both to students and scholars of migration, the
European Union, European integration, social policy, public policy, international
relations, European studies, law, economics, sociology and to professionals,
policy-makers,
think tanks and associations in NGOs, the EU and other IOs."
