The Handbook on Migration and Social Policy edited by Gary P. Freeman and Nikola Mirilovic explores the consequences of migration for the social policies of rich welfare states. They test conflicting claims as to the positive and negative effects of different types of migration against the experience of countries in Europe, North America, Australasia, the Middle East and South Asia. The chapters assess arguments as to migration’s impact on the financial, social and political stability of social programs. The volume includes comprehensive reviews of existing scholarship as well as state of the art original empirical analysis. The book includes chapters on “Immigration, integration and citizenship policies” (Mark Helbling), “Naturalisation levels and processes” (Thomas Janoski) and “Naturalisation and the socio-economic integration of immigration” (Floris Peters and Maarten P. Vink).
