Opis

This important new study compares the postwar politics of immigration control and immigrant integration in the United States, Germany, and Great Britain. Against current diagnoses of nation-states diminished by globalization and international human rights regimes and discourses, the author argues that nation-states have proved remarkably resilient, at least in the face of immigration.

Recenzje

provide important insights into the domestic determinants shaping immigration policy today ...Joppkes forthright and forceful assertion of the resilience of the nation-state in managing immigration policy should prove to be as useful and thought-provoking for policymakers as for scholars.
