Reviews
'Wither Liberalism is a masterfully executed analysis of the impact of neoliberalism and contemporary nationalism on immigration and citizenship policy across the Global North. By analyzing neoliberalism and nationalism side-by-side, Joppke once again breaks new theoretical ground. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in immigration populism.' Antje Ellermann, Associate Professor of Political Science (Comparative Politics), and Director of the Institute for European Studies, University of British Columbia, Vancouver
'Neoliberal Nationalism is a masterfully executed analysis of the impact of neoliberalism and contemporary nationalism on immigration and citizenship policy across the Global North. By analyzing neoliberalism and nationalism side-by-side, Joppke once again breaks new theoretical ground. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in immigration populism.' Antje Ellermann, Associate Professor of Political Science (Comparative Politics), and Director of the Institute for European Studies, University of British Columbia, Vancouver 'This book is an impressive achievement. It is a work of wide-ranging synthesis - drawing on political theory, immigration studies, and political economy - and of penetrating analysis. Swimming against a mighty current, Joppke rejects the term 'populism' as so varied in meaning to be devoid of content and instead explains immigration and citizenship policy with reference to two concepts: nationalism and neo-liberalism. Brexit, Trump, and the far-right are the triumph of an ugly and exclusivist nationalism, and all three are both products and critiques of neo-liberalism. Contemporary immigration and citizenship are anti-nationalist but neo-liberal: qualifications-based, rights-denuded, and increasingly temporary in the former, earned rather than automatically acquired in the latter. Liberalism, both bloodied and bowed, will survive the dual onslaught, but it will never be the same. Analytically powerful and beautifully written, this is the best book on immigration and citizenship available.' Randall Hansen, University of Toronto
