Many nations today face the challenge of integrating
immigrant populations into the national body. On one
level, the work of integration requires a great deal of
creative policy-making and policy adjustment, while at
another level it requires citizens to re-think who
belongs. In an age of declining population in the
developed world, societal fears of foreign infiltration
compete with economic demands
for open markets and open borders. While politicians
and policymakers grapple with these global realities at
the meta level, citizens’ groups often act at the
community level providing needed on-the-ground support.
Meanwhile, immigrants themselves conceive of strategies
to manage their livelihoods, often in transnational
spaces.
This book introduces the frameworks and challenges of
migration policy in Japan, Germany, France and Canada.
It shares insights into ongoing processes of
renegotiating the current structures on multiple levels
of the policy-making process. Scholarly works are
featured in this volume, as are voices from
practitioners.
