Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: To understand the political difficulty of harmonizing immigration policy, our paper proposes a theoretical model of how immigration policy is harmonized at the EU level, and how this harmonization comes to be blocked or restricted. Our model of EU immigration policymaking is bottom-up, in that it sees immigration policy institutions as arising from domestic politics (interest groups, parties, courts, media, etc.) and national immigration policies (citizenship, asylum, visa, etc. We will be examining several independent variables that are key inputs into this dynamic process. The first is client politics, which is a measure of how the costs and benefits of potential immigration policies for various societal groups determine the effectiveness of these groups in impacting official state policy. Our theory is that groups that face more concentrated costs or benefits will more effectively organize to impact the state in favor of their interests than those groups that face more diffuse costs from potential immigration policies. Another explanatory factor is our second independent variable, political salience. Salience can politicize an issue and override client politics by mobilizing society as a whole against certain areas of immigration policy harmonization. It is the extent of client politics and the intensity of political salience of a given immigration issue that combine with state-society relations in a given country to determine one of three outcomes: whether or not that national government will: 1) block harmonization of a particular area of immigration policy; 2) push for maximum restrictiveness in the harmonization that is allowed; or 3) allow a relatively expansive harmonized policy.
