Summary
This chapter makes the case for a comparative theory of immigration policy making. It begins with a literature review of existing scholarship on the role of interests, institutions, and ideas in the making of immigration policy. The chapter provides an overview of the book’s argument and its methodology. It then provides a detailed discussion of the four country cases with a specific focus on historical legacies and institutional arrangements.
