Over the last twenty-five years, a variety of global and domestic
changes - including the mass migrations unleashed by the end of the
Cold War and the advent of European unification, as well as the
onset of globalization and America's War on Terror - have focused
worldwide attention on immigration policy. Conventional rhetoric
portrays immigration as a divisive issue: a question of ""us""
versus ""them."" But how does immigration really affect community
cohesion and civic trust? By drawing on a vast spectrum of data,
Markus Crepaz's ""Trust beyond Borders"" rigorously tests common
assumptions about immigration, welfare and trust, some for the
first time. This broadly important new book proposes a novel theory
of how attitudes about immigration and diversity are related to
feelings of trust and reciprocity, and to support for the welfare
state. Crepaz finds that we are, at least in some cases, capable of
trusting ""beyond borders"": of expressing faith in our fellow
humans, and extending support to them without regard for
citizenship or political classifications.
