Reviews

""Edward A. Koning has brought together an outstanding set of experts in the field of immigration and the welfare state. Well written and coherent, this book introduces the IESPI and empirically tests it in independent studies that investigate the causes of cross-national and over-time variation and the potential consequences. The Exclusion of Immigrants from Welfare Programs will serve as a 'bible' for those who want to utilize the index in their own research. This book is a major contribution that speaks to a variety of scholars and students of the welfare state and migration."" --Tim Reeskens, Associate Professor of Sociology, Tilburg University ""An original index covering twenty-two countries, offering illustrative country studies and sound theoretical reflections from leading scholars. The comparative orientation lifts discussions of welfare state programs and inflows of immigrants to a new level. It will become the point of departure for future research and potentially impact policy-making. I recommend the book."" --Christian Albrekt Larsen, Professor of Comparative Welfare State Studies, Aalborg University

An original index covering twenty-two countries, offering illustrative country studies and sound theoretical reflections from leading scholars. The comparative orientation lifts discussions of welfare state programs and inflows of immigrants to a new level. It will become the point of departure for future research and potentially impact policy-making.
