Few phenomena have been more disruptive to West European politics
and society than the accumulative experience of post-WWII
immigration. Against this backdrop spring two questions: Why have
the immigrant-receiving states historically permitted high levels
of immigration? To what degree can the social and political fallout
precipitated by immigration be politically managed? Utilizing
evidence from a variety of sources, this study explores the links
between immigration and the surge of popular support for
anti-immigrant groups; its implications for state sovereignty; its
elevation to the policy agenda of the European Union; and its
domestic legacies. It argues that post-WWII migration is primarily
an interest-driven phenomenon that has historically served the
macroeconomic and political interests of the receiving countries.
Moreover, it is the role of politics in adjudicating the claims
presented by domestic economic actors, foreign policy commitments,
and humanitarian norms that creates a permissive environment for
significant migration to Western Europe.
