Through an in-depth study of Sweden, Canada, and the Netherlands, \u003ci\u003eImmigration and the Politics of Welfare Exclusion\u003c\/i\u003e maps the politics of immigrants' social rights in Western democracies. To achieve this goal, Edward A. Koning analyzes policy documents, public opinion surveys, data on welfare use, parliamentary debates, and interviews with politicians and key players in the three countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKoning's findings are three-fold. First, the politics of immigrant welfare exclusion have little to do with economic factors and are more about general opposition to immigration and multiculturalism. Second, proposals for exclusion are particularly likely to arise in a political climate that incentivizes politicians to appear \"tough\" on immigration. Finally, the success of anti-immigrant politicians in bringing about exclusionary reforms depends on the response of the political mainstream, and the extent to which immigrants' rights are protected in national and international legal frameworks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA timely investigation into an increasingly pressing subject, \u003ci\u003eImmigration and the Politics of Welfare Exclusion\u003c\/i\u003e will be essential reading for scholars and students of political science, comparative politics, and immigration studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919531917470,"sku":"ING-9781487523428","price":68.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781487523428.jpg?v=1782813558","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781487523428","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
