The study of immigration and immigration policy has become a research growth area for political scientists in recent years. And with good reason. Immigration has traditionally been a focus of other disciplines, such as demography. Thus, research has tended to focus on the demographic profile of immigrant groups, the characteristics of sending and receiving communities, and the nature of transnational social networks that facilitate immigration. Noticeably less attention has been devoted to the politics of immigration and immigration policy. Here, political scientists are helping to fill an obvious and important research niche. Immigration Policy and the Challenge of Globalization is a timely contribution to the growing political science literature in this area.
