At a time when immigration and integration dominate the political debate, objectivity is needed. This book shows how immigration and integration policies are shaped by the tension between national control, globalization, and liberal values, with a primary focus on Norwegian experiences.The book analyses global migration and migration control, as well as the tools and outcomes of the integration process. It provides insights into key normative theories, with a particular focus on how human rights and liberal democracy are under pressure.
The book shows how public opinion, elite discourse, the media, and partisan politics interact, and concludes with some reflections on the relationship between migration, social change, and conflict resolution.
