Why are migration policies sometimes heavily contested and high on
the political agenda? And why do they, at other moments and in
other countries, hardly lead to much public debate? The entrance
and settlement of migrants in Western Europe has prompted various
political reactions. In some countries anti-immigration parties
have gained substantial public support while in others migration
policies have been hardly controversial. The Politicisation of
Migration examines the differences between seven Western European
countries by developing a conceptual framework to empirically
explain patterns of politicisation and de-politicisation. The
analyses show that over the past decade immigration has been
increasingly defined in socio-cultural terms and that it has been
receiving less political attention since the economic crisis
started in 2007. This book also looks at the role of mainstream
parties and political actors in the process of politicisation, and
demonstrates how the role of 'challengers' is more limited than
often assumed. Contributing to literatures on migration, party
politics and agenda-setting, the book will be of interest to
students and scholars in the fields of politics and migration
studies.
