Reviews

‘This book is relevant to the discussion of how to understand the increasing tendency among liberal democracies to impose civic integration requirements on the immigrant population such as  language skills, nationality tests, and procedural commitment to liberal-democratic principles.’ - Marianne Takle (Migration Studies – vol 2:01:2014)
