Immigration phobia is a paradoxical global phenomenon: neither
theories that link conflict to symbolic and realistic threats, nor
the 'contact hypothesis' can systematically explain intense
anti-migrant alarmism and exclusionism toward marginally small
migrant minorities. Through a careful comparative study of
immigration attitudes in the Russian Far East, the EU, and the
United States, this book is the first to demonstrate that concerns
about national identity and economic interests associated with
migration are themselves ignited by a unique perceptual logic of
the security dilemma. Regression analysis and case studies trace
support for expulsion of migrants to human yearning for pre-emptive
self-defense under uncertainty. Alarmism and hostility arise from
ambiguities about immigration consequences and migrants'
motivations. Framing migration as a national security problem is
therefore logical, but counterproductive. The book instead
recommends managing migration through economic incentives and new
institutions at the global, national, and local level.
