Immigration and Welfare: Challenging the Borders of the Welfare State

Immigration and Welfare: Challenging the Borders of the Welfare State

Description: "Immigration and Welfare avoids simplistic and unhelpful notions of the 'threat' of immigration to analyse the effects of immigration on national welfare states in an integrating Europe. It explores new migration challenges, such as asylum seekers and Europe's increasingly restrictive immigration policies, and looks at the implications of such debates for immigrant and immigrant-origin communities across Europe.
