Conclusion; Bibliography; Index 330 8 $aAnnotation$bLurid headlines on every aspect of migration have been a consistent feature of the last decade, from worries over asylum seekers to concerns about unprecedented economic immigration from Eastern Europe. This book presents the first comprehensive account of government policy on immigration over the last ten years, providing an in-depth analysis of policy and legislation since Tony Blair and New Labour were first elected. the account begins by placing policy change under Labour in their proper historical context, before examining the key policy themes - economic migration; security; integration; asylum; delivery - of the last decade. Through an analysis of such policy themes, the author contends that immigration policy has undergone an intense and innovative transformation in the period from May 1997 to May 2007. Arguing that a more plural system of governance exists, the author challenges traditional accounts of policy development. By addressing the various influences on immigration policymaking, from globalisation, the European Union and the law, to politics, the media and the networks of special interests, he seeks to provide a holistic explanation for the transformation of immigration policy. the author concludes with an evaluation of Labour's immigration reforms, and whether government policy can be judged a success. The book will be of interest to policymakers, academics, students studying immigration, and readers interested in serious current affairs. 606 $aPolitical Science$xWorld$xEuropean 606 $aSocial Science$xEmigration & Immigration 606 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics And Government$x1997-2010 606 $aGreat Britain$xEmigration And Immigration 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical Science$xWorld$xEuropean. 615 0$aSocial Science$xEmigration & Immigration. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xPolitics And Government$x1997-2010. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xEmigration And Immigration. 676 $a325.41090511 700 $aSomerville$b Will$0965882 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458392803321 996 $aImmigration under New Labour$92191962 997 $aUNINA
