Immigration Admissions cover

There is general agreement today that traditional approaches to immigration admissions in the major receiving countries of the West have serious shortcomings either in concept or implementation, or at times in both. These essays, all written by leading immigration experts, consider the philosophical and moral constraints on immigration law and policy, the basic elements of a comprehensive migration policy, and specific policy areas, including family reunification and asylum. Taken together, these perspectives represent a fresh, comparative look at some of the most urgent issues in this pivotal area of law and policy.

"The appearance of this series... is welcomed as a useful antidote to the usually ill-informed debate in both Western Europe and the U.S.... The chapters are well researched, informative and clearly written, and provide a substantial background and stimulating ideas for policy-makers to consider... The authors are to be congratulated on such a comprehensive analysis, and for proposing a more humane and tolerant approach to this issue which has so often lacking." - Labor Focus on Eastern Europe
