Description
Emigration of scale challenges states at the European periphery at their core. The book documents these struggles along their effects for politics and policy within their economic and welfare dimensions. The politics of emigration describe changing voter attitudes and behaviour pointing towards more support for nationalist and right-wing parties. The policies of emigration show state and local level efforts for the return of emigrant citizens. The welfare and economic dimensions explore the context for emigration and its effects for growth models and systems of health and care within the European single market. The book observes two types of state transformations: the re-emergent nation-state that re-discovers its core resource, the citizenry, as well as states that functionally and socially adapt to population loss. -- .
