This thought-provoking and controversial collection tackles a subject of urgent international concern - migration, immigration and social policy. Presents forthright yet realistic analyses of key issues. Contributors are drawn from diverse academic and professional backgrounds, and bring a wide range of expertise to bear on the subject. Covers the case for a world-wide system of migration management, the quest for an EU asylum policy, and European countries' treatment of asylum seekers. Considers particular aspects of policy in different European countries, including Britain, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, France, Germany and Italy. Gathers together a range of hitherto unreported material.
