Full Description
Kanada, Frankreich und Deutschland haben viele Gemeinsamkeiten, z. B. ihre demokratischen Grundsätze und ihr verfassungsrechtliches Streben nach Menschenrechten und Chancengleichheit. Dennoch geht jedes Land anders mit dem Thema Einwanderung um. Friederike Alm präsentiert eine vergleichend-historische Analyse, die den historischen Verlauf der Migrationspolitik in den drei Ländern seit 1945 beleuchtet. Die Autorin schlägt ein neues Konzept für die Migrationsforschung vor, den migrationspolitischen Nexus, der die Verflechtung von Einwanderung, Staatsbürgerschaft und Integrationspolitik aufzeigt.
