A View From The United States - Social, Economic, And Legal Change, The Persistence Of The State, And Immigration Policy In The Coming Century, John Scanlan

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

In this article, Professor Scanlan argues that in spite of recent

In this article, Professor Zolberg argues that today's

truly global community.

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

Through the use of their own empirical studies, the authors

address three themes: 1) immigration in the global context; 2) the

scale and characteristics of immigration to the United States; and

3) the. expected future impact of immigration to the United States.

The authors focus on U.S. immigration by giving an empirical

comparative history which suggests that, while the sheer number of

immigrants to the United States has grown, the share of foreignborn

people in the U.S. population is well below historic highs.

Next they discuss the characteristics of recent and current

immigrants to the United States in terms of …
