This seminar will look at the politics of immigration and
citizenship in the advanced industrial world, focusing on
the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany. We
begin by looking at the history of immigration and its
impact on current immigration policy and citizenship laws in
these countries. The second section of the course is
concerned with the experience of the largest immigrant
groups in the four countries. Of particular importance are
the opportunities for political activity and mobilization
available to immigrant groups. The third section focuses on
the effect of immigration on the politics and economics of
the four countries. In the final section, we will examine
the validity of various economic, cultural and political
arguments for restricting immigration and the rise of new
nativist and anti-immigrant movements in the advanced
industrial world.
