The external EU immigration policy: the need to move beyond the orthodoxy.

"Anti-immigration sentiments have recently engrossed the European Union (EU).... This article will, first, give an overall picture on immigration in the Union; secondly, show that the...justifications for barring EU bound immigrants are flawed and generate negative repercussions on the EU's foreign policy and external relations with third states; thirdly, propose an alternative paradigm within which to conduct the discourse on the EU immigration policy."

[Quebecers, foreigners or citizens? The basis of the sense of belonging of immigrants to Quebec].

"In light of information concerning the issues of immigration in Quebec, gathered in [the] course of semi-directed interviews, I have identified three overriding viewpoints. The first attributes to the State the role of consolidating a Francophone Quebec, [and] it suggests that the imposition of linguistic and territorial references is the only manner by which one can define a Quebecer and a Quebec nation.... The second viewpoint, by contrast, wants to superimpose linguistic, territorial, cultural and historical references when defining a Quebecer, and by so doing, excludes the immigrants from the nation-State it wants to construct. The third viewpoint, radically opposed to aforementioned approaches, refuses all State intervention imposing a definition of a national collectivity, whether it be based upon language, history or culture; from its perspective, the State has but one role: the protection of liberties and...redistribution."

The political discourse on quota immigration in Germany.

"Since the late 1980s many professional politicians and social interest associations/organisations have been arguing for the creation of an immigration law which would allow and organise limited and legal new immigration to Germany on the basis of annual or two-three year quotas. This political discourse on immigration policy contains proposals which go beyond pure self-interest and aim to contribute to the stated goals of ¿citizenship in Europe' and ¿open, transnational citizenship'. This position is so far only held by a minority. More dominant are the proponents of quota immigration policy and of political asylum and civil refugee policies, directly or indirectly exclusionist in relation to ¿old' and/or ¿new' immigrants and refugees. This article presents the argument for rethinking and restructuring the notion of quota immigration rather than rejecting it altogether."

Immigration and economic welfare: resource and environmental aspects.

"The relation between immigration and the economic welfare of residents is analyzed for resource-rich economies (such as Australia) both under competitive conditions and when various distortions are present. Immigration provides efficiency gains for residents under distortion-free competition for standard 'gains from trade' reasons. Such reasons, however, tend to be ignored by immigration and 'optimal population' theorists who raise the issue of restricting immigration without explicitly referring to the distortions. In situations where distortions and externalities are present, we argue that it is generally preferable to devise policies which specifically target the distortions than to restrict immigration."

The social effects and institutional structure of immigration in New Zealand in the 1980s.

"The aim of this paper is to facilitate an understanding and explanation of the social effects of immigration in New Zealand during the 1980s. Working within the framework of social demography...this objective will be pursued in two stages. First, a concise overview will be given of some of the more commonly known social effects that can be related to the composition and volume of immigration. Second, to gain a deeper appreciation of the causes of change, attention will be directed to the nature and operation of what has been described as the 'institutional structure of immigration'...."
