Summary

"A new kind of historic transformation is underway in twenty-first-century Europe. Twentieth-century Europeans were no strangers to social, economic, and political change, but their major challenges focused mainly on the intra-European construction of stable, prosperous, capitalist democracies. Today, by contrast, one of the major challenges is flows across borders -- and particularly in-flows of non-European people. Immigration and minority integration consistently occupy the headlines. The issues which rival immigration -- unemployment, crime, terrorism -- are often presented by politicians as its negative secondary effects. Immigration is also intimately connected to the profound challenges of demographic change, economic growth, and welfare-state reform. Both academic observers and the European public are increasingly convinced that Europe's future will largely turn on how it admits and integrates non-Europeans. This book is a comprehensive stock-taking of the contemporary situation and its policy implications."--Jacket.
