Migrants and Welfare States:  Balancing Dilemmas in Northern Europe  Edited by Christian Albrekt Larsen (Edgar Elgar Publishing, 2022)

The publisher describes the book as follows:

“‘This stimulating book redefines the `progressive dilemma’, the fear that immigration and ethno-racial diversity undermine the welfare state. Drawing on a comprehensive analysis of the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden, the book concludes that the tensions between natives and newcomers are real, but the result is not weaker social programs but pressure for more selective immigration. The battles and choices occur at the border.”
