Migration, Citizenship, and the European Welfare State: A European Dilemma

by Carl-Ulrik Schierup, Stephen Castles, Peo Hansen

Overview

This is a key new analysis of two major European issues: the impact of immigration and ethnic diversity on the nation state, and the declining capacity of the welfare state to maintain social equity. Detailed case-studies demonstrate the growing significance of the EU's role in formulating policy on migration, integration, discrimination, asylum, and racism.
