Opis

Do nation-states act to facilitate or limit immigration and integration, how and why? How do nation-states themselves transform in understanding and interpreting rights respond to immigration? Does the European Union make a difference in terms of how immigrants are perceived or how they act as stakeholders in liberal democracies?

" . . .a wonderful piece of forensic writing." - Financial Times

"Reich pursues this affair in depth . . .does an excellent job of dealing with the facts of the Schön case" - Martin Blume, Nature
