Publisher's Synopsis
The realities of political integration and continuing migration are now inextricably linked. One measure of the degree of economic and political integration is the extent to which the EC can formulate a common immigration policy, as well as deal with the problem of citizenship arising from the settlement within the EC of millions of people who are juridically foreigners.;This volume offers a theoretical perspective on these processes, examining in particular the dynamics of inclusion and exclusion, the nature of citizenship and the place of the European Community in the world economy and its consequences for intenational migration flows.;It then goes on to offer a series of case studies which describe and analyze in detail the situation in France, Germany, Britain, Italy and Sweden, as well as YS document the evolution of an EC policy on the policing of migration (including refugee migrations) and the consequences of the collapse of communism for east/west migration flows.
