Download or read book Impact of Extreme Right Parties on Immigration Policy written by Joao Carvalho and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a mixed research methodology with a strong qualitative character, this book traces the political impact of the British National Party in the UK, the Front National in France and the Lega Nord in Italy by exploring their contagion effects on immigration politics and policy in particular over the patterns of inter-party competition, public behaviour and policy developments. This book suggests that extreme right party impact on immigration politics and policy is an outcome of the extreme right parties’ electoral threats to established parties alongside the agency of mainstream political elites. It also highlights the decline in the intensity of extreme right parties’ contagion effects on public attitudes to immigration throughout the late 2000s or the potential overstatement of this political process in the past. Featuring detailed case studies of the UK, France and Italy as three mature multi-party democracies where the extreme right was on the rise during the past decade, this work will be of great interest to students and scholars of populism, extremism, European politics and comparative and party politics.
Download or read book Cities and Labour Immigration written by Michael Alexander and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a unique analytical framework based on host-stranger relations, this book explores the response of cities to the arrival and settlement of labour immigrants. Comparing the local policies of four cities - Paris, Amsterdam, Rome and Tel Aviv - Michael Alexander charts the development of migrant policies over time and situates them within the broader social context. Grounded in multi-city, multi-domain empirical findings, the work provides a fuller understanding of the interaction between cities and their migrant populations. Filling a gap in existing literature on migrant policy between national-level theorizing and local-level study, the book will provide an important basis for future research in the area.

Download or read book International Migrations and Local Governance written by Thomas Lacroix and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the role of local governments around the world in the management of the migration, integration and development nexus. Drawing on case studies from the Global North and South, this comparative work fills a lacuna in the existing literature which has focused largely on migration as addressed by European and North American cities. Further, it widens the current debate by confronting northern experiences with attitudes and strategies observed in sending countries; clearly demonstrating that international mobility has become a global issue for cities at both end of the migration spectrum.

Download or read book Democratic Citizenship and War written by Yoav Peled and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume explores the theoretical and practical implications of war and terror situations for citizenship in democratic states. Citizenship is a key concept in Western political thought for defining the individual’s relations with society. The specific nature of these rights, duties and contributions, as well the relations between them, are determined by the citizenship discourses that prevail in each society. In wartime, including low-intensity wars, democratic societies face different challenges than the ones facing them during peacetime, in areas such as human rights, the status of minorities, the state’s obligations to its citizens, and the meaning of social solidarity. War situations can affect not only the scope of citizenship as an institution, but also the relations between the prevailing discourses of citizenship and between different groups of citizens. Since 9/11 and the declaration of the 'war on terror', many democracies have been grappling with issues rising out of the interface between citizenship and war. This volume examines the effects of war on various aspects of citizenship practice, including: immigration and naturalization, the welfare state, individual liberties, gender relations, multiculturalism, social solidarity, and state – civil society relations. This book will be of great interest to students of military studies, political science, IR and security studies in general.
Download or read book Fair Immigration Proceedings in Europe written by Pieter Boeles and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2023-08-14 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fair Immigration Proceedings in Europe deals with international minimum standards for effective and fair immigration proceedings which apply for the region of the European Union. It is the first study to analyze systematically the impact of a wide range of relevant treaties under the UN, the Council of Europe and the European Union on the quality of national immigration proceedings. As a result, a coherent picture has come to the surface, which, despite several lacunae, gives a surprising view of the acquis of binding obligations on EU Member States in this field. Special attention is given to the greater conventions like the Refugee Convention of Geneva, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights and the EC Treaty. Because of its systematic structure, the book is readily accessible for quick consultation. It constitutes an important tool for litigation practice and legislation for civil servants, judges, attorneys and researchers. It will also be of interest to academics because of its analysis of the interaction between minimum norms and equal treatment norms when implemented in municipal law.
