Über „The Politics of Us and Them – The Migration Politics Nexus”
Canada, France, and Germany share many similarities, for example, their democratic principles and constitutional commitment to human rights and equal opportunities. However, each country approaches immigration differently. Friederike Alm presents a comparative-historical analysis which sheds light on the historical trajectory of migration politics in the three countries since 1945. The author proposes a new concept for migration research, the migration politics nexus, which highlights the interconnection between immigration, citizenship, and integration politics.
Academic literature often points to the juxtaposition of Canadian, French and German migration politics. Canada is portrayed as the multicultural immigration country; France, the civic-assimilationist immigration country, and Germany, the co-ethnic and reluctant immigration country. While typologies like these are commonly held as a popular heuristic device in social sciences, these models are contested by migration researchers who are weary of the static pigeon-holing of immigration countries. Friederike Alm therefore poses a new approach to understand the emergence and historical change of countries’ migration politics.
