Zusammenfassung:excerpt
"Recent developments in the legislation on immigration and nationality in France (1980-1986), in Britain (1981 and 1988) and in the United States (1986) are set in historical perspective in order to throw light on the legislators' choices in these three countries. The analysis shows common points in the definition of the problems to be dealt with and in the nature of solutions envisaged in a context of economic crisis: 'closing' the borders or specifying 'acceptable' types of immigrants and redefining the means for their integration. Some important distinctions are however highlighted, which can largely be explained by the different histories, particularly colonial, of the three countries studied." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
