    During the time period of the twentieth century in Europe and the Middle East there were significant changes occurring in major forced migration movements such as Muslims during the Balkan Wars and many Jews during World War II. ‘Superpower’s’ (or successful dominant European countries) citizens never migrating away from their homeland remained constant.…

    Liberal Immigration Research Paper

    First with the guestworker policies that were implemented directly after World War II, and then with the terms of the Schengen Agreement from 1990 onwards. Besides for the common economic depressions, and the severe wealth gap we are seeing in the world today, Europe has seen economic growth during this period of liberal immigration policy. Not only have these immigrants contributed to Europe’s economic expansion, but also they have contributed to Europe’s own transformation into a melting pot of culture. Much like the United Provinces of old, Europe is a global trade center, where there is an abundance of goods and services from around the world.…

    Naturalization And Political Integration

    Naturalization And Political Integration

    Immigration is a political issue which reveals the inherent contradiction behind the notion of the liberal democratic nation state. That being the universal promise of human rights, and the exclusive promise of membership to the nation. Nowhere is this clearer than the debate surrounding naturalization and the granting of citizenship to immigrants. Historically in Europe, citizenship has been intrinsically tied to membership of a singular culture or ethnicity, but over the last few decades there has been a general trend of liberalization throughout Europe. However, for the most part naturalization is viewed as a reward granted to the immigrants who show an understanding and appreciation of the civic and cultural norms already in place. The…

    Proactive Immigration

    According to the statistics, some European countries including Germany, France, and United Kingdom have international migrants as more than 10 percent of total population (UN, 2013). In 2013, the number of international migrants reached an all-time high rate of 232 million which, at the same time, raises the higher possibility of diverse conflicts between the immigrants and the natives (ibid, 2013). The term, immigration, has been applied to situations where a person moves to a different country for the purpose of permanent stay (Anon., 2012).Considering aforementioned facts, it can be easily recognized that the issue of immigration is not something only for particular countries but for a wider range of countries that needs to be dealt with…

    Are Concerns over Immigration to Do with Culture of Economic Reasons

    Immigrants are now taking far longer to integrate into their host country and this is upsetting many natives. “In the past a third-generation migrant, for example in America, would have been expected to have shed much of his grandparents’ identity” (The Economist, 2008), not speaking his mother tongue and having little loyalty to the country his family originated from. This is changing “as migrants feel loyalty to more than one country” (The Economist, 2008). For example, Moroccans in Europe, even fourth generation, are encouraged by the Government…

    Scandinavian Women and Emigration

    There have been many great exoduses in the history of mankind; men and women have traveled across deserts, mountains, and finally oceans. And the motivations behind this travel have ranged from economic to social to political in nature, often reflecting an overall attitude of change. Scandinavian emigration since the early 19th century has demonstrated a transitition toward women’s independence and a more prominent role in the economy. Initially, emigrants consisted of rural families, headed by a patriarch, seeking arable lands and better agricultural opportunities. Later, with industrialization and urbanization, many women found equal opportunity for employment in urban areas, expanding their prospects for independence. Moreover, with a redefinition of women’s gender roles and social emancipation supported by literary and social debate, many young unmarried women, as well as mothers, demanded more from life and freely sought opportunity abroad. So, with the emigration precedent of the generations that traveled before, independent women and families escaped what was thought to be the social and economic deterioration of Scandinavia. Thus, through a diversity of employment niches and a transitioning attitude toward women’s gender roles, Scandinavian emigration created occasion for equality.…

    Why Are Some People Socially Excluded

    There is much difficulty when trying to understand as well as explain the term/ idea that is Social exclusion, as writers/institutions have varying degrees (and at times conflicting ideas) of what “social exclusion” is, who it includes or rather excludes and why some people become socially excluded from the wider society, whether it be through levels of human agency, the impact of institutions and or changes in legislation.

    For years Europeans have wrestled with the issue of immigration, from worries about changing national identity to integration and use of resources.

    Immigration Assimilation

    Immigration Assimilation

    Moreover, this trend extends globally on account of overpopulation and increasingly competitive living conditions. Historically, immigration has been advantageous to human development following war or in post-industrial societies as a deliberate attempt to expand the population. In the United States, for example, “two structural conditions–the long hiatus in immigration and the economic boom that accompanied it–are primarily responsible for the remarkable assimilation of European immigrants into the United States” (Massey 643). Without these factors, assimilation of immigrants into American society would tell a dramatically different story. And in fact, “new immigrants enter a highly stratified society characterized by high income inequality and growing labor market segmentation that will provide fewer opportunities for upward mobility” (Massey 648). Not only does immigration prove detrimental to the receiving country but is also a massive risk and can have negative consequences for immigrants and their families. As evident in the United States, immigrants increasingly segregate themselves and, “national origins and geographic destinations of the new immigrants are highly concentrated, creating large foreign-language and cultural communities in many areas” (Massey 648). Such communities create a familiarity for immigrant groups but oppositely, are alien to Euro-American’s, restricting immigrants to remain inside a cultural bubble and creating tensions between ethnic…
