Migration limits
European nation states are facing a challenge on many different levels. It is not just an issue of immigration and ethnic transformation. Global economic developments in trade, production and finance have partly undermined the coherence of their national economies, while political developments are challenging their sovereignty and internal democratic structures. It is not surprising that the people most hostile to immigration are also the most hostile to economic globalisation and to supra-national institutions. They are raising, albeit often in xenophobic form, issues of community, identity and self-determination that should concern all democrats.
Bob Rowthorn: 'Migration limits', in Prospect, February 2003.
