Based on interviews with political elites and policy makers in the UK, Switzerland and France, the book explains why governmental conservative parties in these countries revised their immigration policy stances and steered immigration policy in a more restrictive direction between 2002 and 2015. Anna McKeever is Lecturer in Social Sciences at the University of the West of Scotland, UK. Her research interests include party politics, immigration and populism. |
