This book critically investigates the origins and consequences of
the Janus-faced character of attitudes and policies towards
migrants that seek to penetrate "Fortress Europe". Beginning with
an examination of its founding ambitions, it locates the roots of
an ingrained ambivalence in the legacies of the post-war period and
the unresolved tension between the economicism of the European
approach to labour migration and the philosophy of rights and
solidarity embedded in the EU project. It highlights how the
formalization of citizenship rights has produced both formal
pathways towards inclusion for migrants and, in their selective
eligibility criteria, exclusive systems of civic stratification.
The author links this oscillation between positions of closure and
openness to the paradoxical trade-offs in migration policies, in
particular labour market integration, demonstrated through unequal
labour market outcomes, lower social mobility and educational
attainments. The issues faced by migrants' offspring in Europe are
examined as paradigmatic of the struggle to balance competing calls
for both pluralism and uniformity: to create a diverse society that
can also project a homogenous collective identity. This balanced
overview will provide an invaluable resource for students of
migration studies, European politics, public policy, international
relations and the sociology of racism.
