Abstract:
|
In what ways do the views of foreigners and/or the concepts of citizenship assumed by national immigration policymakers shape the scope and aims of immigration politics in Japan, the U.S., and Sweden? This paper suggests that different kinds of policy assumptions provoke different kinds of immigrant activism: Japan’s “control policy,” which treats immigrants as workers (rather than free and equal persons) provides the greatest impetus for local activism through informal democratic institutions, while the U.S. “assimilation policy” and Sweden’s “multicultural policy,” which treat immigrants as potential citizens, provide greater national activism through both formal and informal democratic organizations and processes. |
