Migration in 21st-century Iberia: the politics and patterns of anti-immigrantism and emigration

Larson, Jared D. ;

Artigo Completo:

Despite migration being a social phenomenon as old as humanity itself and, in modern times, international migration is by definition a political act, political science was arguably the last of the social sciences to study it. With few exceptions, were we to consider only the field of political science, the crossing of political boundaries mattered little until after World War II, as politicians and policy-makers began to treat borders as a security concern and, perhaps more importantly, as migration itself became a hot-button issue throughout the developed world. Yet according to one of the first political scientists to seriously study international migration, Gary Freeman, in his 1995 article “Modes of Immigration Politics in Liberal Democratic Sates,” not all developed, migrant-receiving countries are exactly alike: there are traditional settler societies (U.S., Canada, Australia), post-colonial and guestworker societies (UK, France, Germany), and new countries of migration (Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Greece). It goes without saying that political scientists like typologies, and this one in particular has proven its utility over time (Cornelius and Tsuda 2004, Hollifield, Martin, and Orrenius 2014). However, the challenges faced (or merely perceived) by any receiving country are essentially the same: border security, unemployment, drains on the welfare state, dilution of national culture, etc. Addressing these issues brings us to Freeman’s, and thus political science’s, other major contribution to the field of migration studies: the study of reactionary, right-wing backlashes against immigrants and immigration. However, according to Freeman himself, this is paradoxically a detriment to the field’s potential as such a focus leads to ad hoc studies that are simultaneously overly normative and descriptive as well as theoretically weak (2005: 111, 117).
