Challenging Immigration and Ethnic Relations Politics Comparative European Perspectives

At a time when immigration and ethnic issues are hotly disputed across Europe, and challenged by minorities and xenophobes, this collection presents substantive cross-national analysis on the qualities of contentious politics. It offers conceptual approaches to migration and "ethnic relations" politics; it provides empirical analyses based on a method of systematic cross-national comparison; and, it addresses the emergence of the transnational level of political authority, its implications for national and sub-national politics, and how it is challenged by social movements.Koopmans, Ruud is the author of 'Challenging Immigration and Ethnic Relations Politics Comparative European Perspectives', published 2001 under ISBN 9780198295617 and ISBN 0198295618.
