"The Brexit and Trump "double shock" of 2016 marks a deep caesura in the history of liberal societies. In the center of the populist storm is immigration. It is no longer sufficient, if it ever was, to look at Western states' immigration and citizenship policies through the singular lens of advancing liberalism. Instead, two additional forces have to be factored-in: a new nationalism, but also the neoliberal restructuring of governing and society in which this nationalism is generated. Through a comparative look at changing immigration and citizenship policies across the Western state world, Christian Joppke demonstrates that many of the new restrictions can actually be accounted for within a neoliberal rather than a nationalist framework. Moreover, some of the restrictive changes, such as the rise of "earned citizenship", are due to neoliberalism and nationalism working in tandem, in terms of a genuinely neoliberal nationalism.

Throughout human history, religion and politics have entertained the most intimate of connections as systems of authority regulating individuals and society.

This volume presents research by some of the world's leading figures in the fast growing area of immigration studies. Drawing on the experiences of Western Europe and the United States, it concentrates on two key areas in which nation-states are challenged by recent immigrations: sovereignty and citizenship

Comparing the postwar politics of immigration control and integration in the US, Germany, and Great Britain, set against diagnoses of nation-states diminished by globalization and international human rights regimes and discourses, the author argues that nation-states have proved remarkably resilient, at least in the face of immigration.
