Handbook on Migration and Social Policy
In this detailed Handbook, an interdisciplinary team of scholars explores the consequences of migration for the social policies of rich welfare states. They test conflicting claims as to the positive and negative effects of different types of migration against the experience of countries in Europe, North America, Australasia, the Middle East and South Asia. The chapters assess arguments as to migration's impact on the financial, social and politi…

Comparative Analysis of Immigration Politics: A Retrospective
Serious comparative research on postwar immigration politics and policy began only 30 years ago and did not really take off until the 1990s. The level of interest of scholars has naturally followed the salience of immigration issues in the politics of liberal democracies. A flood of new research is now appearing, making a review of where research has come so far timely. Immigration research in political science has confronted a number of challeng…
Can Comprehensive Immigration Reform Be Both Liberal and Democratic
Immigration, Diversity, and Welfare Chauvinism
Immigration is the driving force behind the rapidly growing ethnic, racial, and religious diversity of Western welfare states. This essay reviews research on the effects of immigration and diversity on the political support for redistributive social programs. A growing body of scholarship finds negative relationships between indicators of ethnic heterogeneity and measures of immigration, on the one hand, and attitudes towards welfare measures and…

Political Economy and Migration Policy
The disciplines of economics and political science have a good deal to offer each other in the study of migration policy, but economists have until recently mostly ignored the ways in which politics constrain migration markets, and political scientists—although giving considerable credence to economic aspects of migration—have not always pursued these matters systematically. We consider economic ideas drawn from theories of labour markets, intern…

National models, policy types, and the politics of immigration in liberal democracies
Immigration policy can be disaggregated into theoretically and empirically meaningful components which are associated with different issues and patterns of benefits and costs that elicit distinctive modes of politics. A four-part typology identifies concentrated distributive, diffuse distributive, redistributive, and regulatory policies, which predict client, majoritarian, interest group, and entrepreneurial modes of politics, respectively. The u…

Are Ethical Asylum Policies Politically Sustainable
The Ethics and Politics of Asylum by Matthew Gibney is an ambitious and carefully argued book that makes substantial contributions to two fields of discourse that are normally artificially separated: ethical theories of the obligations of states to protect strangers and the empirical study of refugee and asylum regimes in liberal democracies. Gibney's analysis makes clear why these two intellectual activities are normally kept apart. Juxtaposing …
Public Opinion in the EU on Immigration from Outside the Community
This article explores the impact of symbolic and instrumental variables on European Union opinion on immigration and asylum. Using Eurobarometer surveys from 1988 to 2000, descriptive and multivariate statistics are employed to measure the impact of prejudice, ideology, attitudes towards the EU, unemployment, economic conditions, migration flows, and individual-level demographic characteristics on measures of attitudes towards immigration policy …
Immigrant Incorporation in Western Democracies
How much variation is there in immigrant incorporation policies and practices across the Western democracies? Concluding that the effort to capture variation in typologies of incorporation schemes is likely to prove both futile and misleading, I propose a radically dis-aggregated perspective that conceives of incorporation as the product of the intersection of migrant aspirations and strategies with regulatory frameworks in four domains – state, …
The Decline of Barriers to Immigrant Economic and Political Rights in the American States: 1977–2001
State governments exercise significant powers to regulate the economic and social activities of resident aliens. We review the laws of the six leading states of immigrant settlement regulating access of noncitizens to 23 occupations, updating existing studies from 1946–77. Citizenship requirements for these occupations have plummeted, a change we attribute to federal court decisions, advisory opinions of state attorneys general, and state legisla…
Explaining the Surge in Citizenship Applications in the 1990s: Lawful Permanent Residents in Texas
Objective . We explore the increase in citizenship applications in the mid–1990s in order to test popular explanations for them, such as the consequences of IRCA legalization, fear of loss of public benefits, and effects of citizenship outreach programs. Methods . We rely on a nonrandom sample of 526 lawful permanent residents in four Texas cities. About half had applied for citizenship and all were taking affirmative steps via participation in c…
Divergent Paths of Immigration Politics in the United States and Australia
The United States and Australia converged by the mid-1980s on receptive and expan sive immigration policies reflecting "client" politics. Australia has since pursued a more restrictive and selective course while the United States has resisted pressures toward such a stance. The authors account for these differences by assessing the theoretical perspectives of interests, rights, and states. Conflicts among groups with direct interests in policy ou…

Homeland citizenship policies and the status of third country nationals in the European Union
Discussion of the status of third country nationals in the European Union tends to focus on member state and/or European Community law and policy. These debates need to take into account the policies and interests of the sending states as well. They are central to the decisions of third country nationals to naturalise and integrate into host countries. We examine the citizenship and naturalisation policies of the three most important EU receiving…
Immigration as a source of political discontent and frustration in Western democracies

Modes of Immigration Politics in Liberal Democratic States
The politics of immigration in liberal democracies exhibits strong similarities that are, contrary to the scholarly consensus, broadly expansionist and inclusive. Nevertheless, three groups of states display distinct modes of immigration politics. Divergent immigration histories mold popular attitudes toward migration and ethnic heterogeneity and affect the institutionalization of migration policy and politics. The English-speaking settler societ…

Migration and the Political Economy of the Welfare State
National welfare states are compelled by their logic to be closed systems that seek to insulate themselves from external pressures and that restrict rights and benefits to members. They nonetheless fail to be perfectly bounded in a global economy marked by competition, interdependence, and extreme inequality. This article explores the consequences of transnational flows of labor both for the status of migrants who move to welfare states and for t…
National Styles and Policy Sectors: Explaining Structured Variation
A vigorous tradition in comparative politics argues that national policymakers develop characteristic and durable methods for dealing with public issues, that these can be linked to policy outcomes, and that they can be systematically compared. More recently, a number of scholars have suggested reversing the direction of causality, claiming that the nature of political issues themselves causes the politics associated with them. This policy sector…

Can Liberal States Control Unwanted Migration
The commonly held view that liberal democracies cannot effectively control unwanted migration is unwarranted despite the intensification of migration pressures in recent years. To develop a more accurate position built on less sweeping generalizations, I disaggregate migration policy into four parts: managing legal immigration, controlling illegal migration, administering temporary worker programs, and processing asylum seekers and refugees. A re…

Migration Policy and Politics in the Receiving States
This article explores the politics of migration policies in the receiving states." The author finds that "a survey of the politics of immigration in the major receiving states shows a strong pattern of restrictionism in the face of unprecedented pressures for entry, but also amnesties, exceptions on humanitarian grounds, and hesitation to enforce the law. As individual states founder, multilateral strategies abound, but with scant success....Iron…

Ideology and Analysis in American Social Security Policymaking
The extreme dispersion of authority and power in the American political system fosters a politics of bargaining, negotiation, and compromise. Nevertheless, technical-rational analysis plays a major role in the identification of public problems and in the legitimation of official responses. We explore this apparent paradox through an examination of the interaction between politics, ideology and analysis in the current crisis of the American public…

On the Political Character of Social Service Work
We examine the proposition that social service workers can pursue political objectives through their social work practice. Although we accept the argument that all social work is in some sense political, we question whether the social services constitute a viable means of basic political change, or an essential support of the status quo. We argue that the political potential of social service workers lies primarily in their relationship to their …

Immigration has profoundly shaped the national development of countries like the United States and Australia, who were both founded as settler societies. They have both been transformed by successive waves of immigration, first from Europe, and then from every other part of the world. The policies that these countries have enforced regarding immigration, recruitment, and settlement have had as equally far-reaching consequences for the oppressed a…
