Description
This study illustrates the challenges that Western European nations face as they struggle to come to terms with their new situation as countries of immigration, against their historical backdrop as important countries of out-migration. Since the end of the Cold War, immigration has become one of the foremost issues of national as well as European politics. In this volume, the models and policies of the four large nations of Western Europe - France, Germany, Great Britain, and Italy - are examined within a comparative framework by leading national experts on immigration policy. Bringing together the individual countries, elements of a "negative coordination" as well as those of a united European immigration policy are evaluated with particular attention given to EU visa arrangements and the discourse centering around a border free "Schengenland" Europe. Within this context, the thinking expressed by the concept "Fortress Europe" is confronted by highlighting the demographic disparities between rich and poor nations, and concepts of future policies are presented.
