Publisher's Synopsis

Since the fall of the Iron Curtain migration has become one of the major issues facing the new Germany. The purpose of this work is firstly to establish some economic, social and security implications of this in-migration. It then analyzes the control mechanisms which the government has developed so far. These have been reasonably effective for asylum seekers and ethnic Germans but immigration via family reunion and undocumented (illegal) immigration will continue. A European solution is therefore called for but harmonisation of migration and refugee policies at that level has remained limited. Indeed, the lack of "burden-sharing" illustrates the absence of a basic sense of solidarity among members of the EU.;The question then remains how Germany will approach future in-migration. The volume ends with an examination of migration in German politics which focuses on the controversies surrounding the new Nationality Law and the unwillingness of a majority of policy makers to countenance an immigration law for Germany.
