What Europeans think about immigration and why it matters
Description
James DENNISON and Andrew GEDDES. What Europeans think about immigration and why it matters. Oxford ; New York, NY : Oxford University Press, 2026. Online resource, e-book.
Immigration is one of the most polarising and political consequential issues in 21st-century Europe. 'What Europeans Think About Immigration and Why It Matters' offers a powerful and comprehensive analysis of the matter, mapping not only what Europeans think about immigration, but why they think it, how those attitudes are formed, and what they mean for the political future of Europe. Drawing on vast quantities of high-quality survey data spanning decades, countries, and crises, and combining insights from political science, psychology, sociology, and public policy, James Dennison and Andrew Geddes provide a new, interdisciplinary framework for understanding immigration attitudes. They explain how early-life socialization, emotional predispositions, values, media, economic conditions, and national contexts interact to shape how Europeans perceive immigration
