This book is a systematic, comparative, multidisciplinary study of
immigration policy and policy outcomes in nine industrialised
democracies: the United States, Canada, Great Britain, France,
Germany, Belgium, Italy, Spain, and Japan. It has two central
theses. The first, the 'convergence hypothesis', is that there is a
growing similarity in immigration policy, results, and public
reaction within these nine countries. The second thesis, the 'gap
hypothesis', argues that the gap between the goals of immigration
policy and its outcomes is wide and growing wider. Beyond testing
these hypotheses against new evidence, the book seeks to explain
the declining effectiveness of immigration control measures in
today's labour-importing democracies. In each of the country
profiles, the author explains why certain measures were chosen, and
why they usually failed to achieve their stated objectives.
