Latinx identification with whiteness: What drives it, and what effects does it have on political preferences
Objective We seek to determine the antecedents of self‐categorization as white and white identity salience among Latinx people. We also investigate the effects of both on Latinx's political preferences. Methods We perform multivariate regression analyses using the 2012 American National Election Survey (ANES). The survey included 1005 Latinx U.S. citizens. Results We find that Latinx citizens with a strong Latino consciousness and more educated L…
When Politics Trumps Economics: Contrasting High-Skilled Immigration Policymaking in Germany and Austria
High-skilled immigration (HSI) policy has become of increasing interest among immigrant destination countries, but success in establishing liberal policies has varied considerably across countries. Focusing on two reluctant immigration states, Germany and Austria, this article explains why HSI policy reforms in these two countries have led to starkly diverging outcomes. Whereas previous studies have concentrated on the politics of organized labor…
Who liberalizes high-skilled immigration policy and when? Partisanship and the timing of policy liberalization in 19 European states
This article investigates the timing of HSI policy liberalization in Europe by focusing on the role of government partisanship in overcoming diverging pressures for and against greater openness. Using event history analysis to analyse changes in HSI policy in 19 European states from 1999 to 2011, this article finds that having right-leaning governments significantly accelerated HSI policy liberalization, while having left-leaning governments dela…
The limits of skill-selective immigration policies: Welfare states and the commodification of labour immigrants
Why do some countries have more skill-selective labour immigration policies than others? Despite general agreement that high-skilled immigrants are economically and socially desirable, some countries extensively select high-skilled from low-skilled labour immigrants, while others do not. While most political economy accounts indicate an explicit connection between relative skill selectivity and welfare states, two different hypotheses emerge rega…
Does Cultural Recognition Obstruct Immigrant Integration? Evidence from Two Historic Case Studies
Is multiculturalism compatible with immigrant integration? While effects of minority rights and cultural recognition are controversial, I argue that not only the analysis of multicultural policies in their interaction with other structures and policies deserves more attention, but also that a historical discussion may inform current debates. Comparing and analyzing the French Huguenots in Brandenburg-Prussia (1685–1809) and Germans in the Volga r…
The Power of Citizenship: How Immigrant Incorporation Affects Attitudes towards Social Benefits
The Effect of Religious Restrictions on Forced Migration
What is the impact of religious repression on forced migration? While current and historical cases highlight the significance of state-sponsored religions repression, existing quantitative studies on forced migration have not sufficiently addressed the role of religion as a determinant of flight. We argue that religious repression undermines the quality of life, quality of religious observance, and physical integrity of religious communities, and…
