Overview

A comprehensive comparative study of the distinct ideas and political arguments that have shaped French and British policies towards their ethnic minorities, and the effects of these intellectual frameworks at local, national and European levels. The author sets out the divergent conceptualisations of citizenship, nationality, pluralism, autonomy, public order and tolerance that make up the national "philosophies" in the two countries—republican integration in France and multicultural race relations in Britain.

Booknews

Describes French and British politics and policies relating to citizenship and immigration over the last 30 years. The author endeavors to translate the conceptual terms and language used in the countries' public policies into a simple theoretical framework. In two rounds of case studies, he narrates the party politics and institutional dynamics by means of which a dominant policy framework was established in each country, and examines the sensitivity of the policy frameworks to new and unexpected circumstances.
