Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Multi-national societies present a complex setting for the politics of immigration, as immigration’s linguistic, economic and cultural consequences are arguably amplified where they coincide with existing contestation over nationhood, cultural diversity or power distribution. Immigration might heighten existing contestation over nation building between sub-units and the central state; in turn, the multi-level and multi-national context may shape significantly the kind of immigration policy making that emerges. Empirically, however, the politics of immigration is only sometimes and in some places linked explicitly to multi-national politics. Why is this, and under what conditions do political leaders at either central state or sub-unit level treat the politics of immigration as linked to existing contestation over national identity? This paper examines the circumstances under which immigration becomes linked to ongoing debates about governance and diversity in multi-national societies. Taking a predominantly theoretical approach, the paper proposes several factors that account for variation in the salience of the politics of immigration in multi-national settings. Evidence is then drawn from cases such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Belgium to illustrate the paper’s argument that patterns of constitutional reform and the character of nation building projects at both central and sub-unit level are key factors influencing when the politics of multi-level governance and the politics of immigration are likely to intersect.
