Immigration and European Integration: Towards Fortress Europe?

Migration is at the heart of the contemporary European Union. This book addresses the two key questions that underpin EU responses to migration policy. Firstly, the efforts to control immigration and secondly, the chances for inclusion of migrants and their descendants. Andrew Geddes provides detailed analysis of the EU’s free movement framework, of the development of co-operation on immigration and asylum policy, of the mobilization by groups seeking to represent migrant’s interests in EU decision-making, and of the interface between migration, welfare and the EU’s social dimension.
