Immigrant integration
In the comparative literature on immigrant integration, Germany and the United States are frequently placed in distinct and opposing regime categories. Using cross-sectional data from the 1997 German Socio-Economic Panel and the 1997 Panel of Income Dynamics, we compare the process of integration of four generational cohorts of Turks in Germany and Mexicans in the United States, focusing on markets, welfare, and culture. The comparative analysis …
The “Other Braceros”
This article explores the contradictions between the bracero program and the temporary labor program using German prisoners of war in the United States during World War II. Despite the bilateral agreement between Mexico and the United States aimed at protecting the braceros, “who came as allies,” they remained alien workers and outsiders. In contrast, German prisoners of war, who came as enemies, were often transformed into personal friends “like…
Europe
The University of Notre Dame has long figured importantly in migration studies in North America. Julian Samora, Father Theodore Hesbergh and so many others have endowed it with their energy and insight. Hence, it was fitting that on March 23-24, 1998, one of the first major conferences orga? nized by the newly created Nanovic Institute for European Studies would be consecrated to international migration. A special bonus for the conferees was a vi…

Immigration and German Cities
The presence of sizable foreign-born populations (which include citizensand non-citizens) in advanced industrial societies is the result ofnational policies on immigration, refugees, and labor migration. Theconsequences of these policies, however, are most visible at the locallevel, where newcomers work, settle, and raise their families. Whilenot all immigrants live in cities, they have been particularly concentratedin urban environments. Thus, i…
Institutional dimensions of social exclusion in the welfare state
The concept underclass has become widely used to describe and analyse new conditions of poverty and marginality in the United States and increasingly in Europe as well. Yet, the concept remains ambiguous and subject to debate. This article contributes to the debate. Locating the underclass in the theory of citizenship and social class, the author examines the connections between social citizenship rights and the institutional structure of two cor…

The Future of Immigrant Incorporation
The paper examines the usefulness of various theoretical approaches for understanding the causes and consequences of international migration in the 1990s. Extantideas are considered in three periods, each with its own characteristic approach: the classical, represented by push and pull and assimilation perspectives; the modern, reflecting neo-Marxist and structured inequality perspectives; and emerging patterns in the literature, focusing on mult…

Probleme des Asylrechts in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland
Transnational Migration and the Modern Democratic State
Migration to Western Europe in the past 20 to 25 years differs substantially in form and consequences from earlier large-scale population movements across national boundaries. The importation of temporary foreign workers on a modest scale—to meet labor shortages in arduous, low-status occupations—rapidly yielded massive political, economic, cultural, and international problems for the countries of in-migration. The temporary sojourn of mostly sin…
Immigrant Settlement and the Structure of Emergent Immigrant Communities in Western Europe
Throughout modern history the majority of immigrants have occupied inferior socioeconomic positions and have settled in segregated communities. The migrant workers who came to the advanced industrial countries in Western Europe have had similar experiences. A closer examination of the legal and political circumstances surrounding their unanticipated prolonged presence reveals significant differences between the Western European situation and that…
Sending Countries and the Politics of Emigration and Destination
This article examines available means and activities of sending (emigration) countries in their efforts to exert control over the “long-term-temporary” emigration process. This type, rather than “short-term-temporary” or “permanent” migration is regarded most beneficial for sending country interests. In the European case, which is unique, the structure of migration has provided sending countries with ongoing channels for promoting their interests…
