The 21st century promises to be an "Age of Mobility." More people around the globe, from an ever greater variety of backgrounds, are migrating. As Europe and North America absorb larger and more diverse inflows, many policymakers, commentators, and academics are questioning whether their societies can cope with the influx.Citizenship has emerged as one of the key policy battlegrounds for such concerns. Citizenship lies at the nexus of a host of social policy issues because it provides definitions of identity, belonging, and participation in key aspects of society, including the right to vote. Governments recognize the urgent need to understand citizenship better.This book is the first major work of the Transatlantic Council on Migration, a group of leading political figures, policymakers, and innovative thinkers from the United States and Europe. The contributors provide insights into key aspects of the citizenship debate from a policy perspective.Contributors include Hans Martens (chief executive, European Policy Centre), John Mollenkopf (director, Center for Urban Research at the Graduate Center, City University of New York), and Demetrios G. Papademetriou (president, Migration Policy Institute).In collaboration with the European Policy Centre and the Migration Policy Institute

The global financial crisis is already having a marked impact on the scope and pace of international migration. Many countries have tightened their rules and procedures, seeking to protect jobs at home as unemployment has risen sharply. Confidence in established institutions, including governments and banks, has sunk rapidly.Governments, businesses, and individuals have all felt the damaging consequences. The crisis is also driving policymakers to rethink their assumptions about labor migration, as it becomes clear that the recession may profoundly alter the economic and social landscape in the long term, especially for the relatively wealthy nations of North America and Europe. This book examines the complex and contradictory challenges to immigration policy that governments face in the short term and midterm.In collaboration with the Migration Policy Institute
