Anotace

This series, published in association with the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, focuses on the immigration and refugee issues faced in particular by the U.S. and German governments. American and German scholars - lawyers, sociologists, historians, political scientists, demographers, economists, and political philosophers - have come together to examine the different approaches of the two countries from historical and contemporary perspectives as well as their policy options. The series is rounded off by this volume which focuses on immigrant policy, i.e., the ensemble of institutions, laws and social practices that are designed to facilitate the integration of immigrants and refugees into the receiving countries after they arrive. The chapters bring both theoretical and empirical analysis to bear on the processes of assimilation, migrants development of transnational linkages, patterns of social and economic mobility in the immigrant and second generations, migrants rights to public benefits and equal status, and the laws of citizenship in the two countries. The volume is highly interdisciplinary, drawing on the research of demographers, lawyers, and sociologists. It is also explicitly comparative, underscoring the similarities and differences in how the United States and Germany conceive of the role of immigrants in their societies and how the two nations incorporate them into civil and political society. Introductory and concluding chapters highlight the principal themes, findings, and policy implications of the volume.
