The political and socioeconomic effects of international migration: The German case

Immigration is a highly controversial and timely topic. Domestically, it affects elections, party politics, and policy-making. Internationally, it shapes relations between states and foreign policies. The dissertation seeks to add constructively to the debates regarding migration by evaluating its socioeconomic and political effects. The findings indicate that the relationship between migration and unemployment is unclear. The results show, however, that crime and welfare problems have increased with the migrant population over the last two decades.
