Immigration and Politics in the New Europe(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　With almost a quarter of the world’s migrants, Europe has been
attempting to regulate migration and harmonize immigration policy
at the European level. The central dilemma exposed is how liberal
democracies can reconcile the need to control the movement of
people with the desire to promote open borders, free markets and
liberal standards. Gallya Lahav’s book traces ten years of public
opinion and elite attitudes toward immigration cross-nationally to
show how and why increasing EU integration may not necessarily lead
to more open immigration outcomes. Empirical evidence reveals that
support from both elite and public opinion has led to the adoption
of restrictive immigration policies despite the requirements of
open borders. Unique in bringing together original data on European
legislators and national elites, longitudinal data on public
opinion and institutional and policy analyses, this study provides
an important insight into the processes of European integration,
and globalization more broadly.
