Discussion

Attitudes to Migration and the Freedom of Movement

The general goal of this series will be to draw some tentative conclusions about the similarities or the contrasts in political and economic attitudes between the UK and Germany, and what the significance of these factors may be.

Details

Throughout this year, the Federal Trust, the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung and the Global Policy Institute will be jointly organising a series of panel discussions that will assess the different approaches of the UK and Germany to important policy issues.

In the first of these discussions we will focus on the issue of migration and the different approaches and attitudes adopted in the two countries. The contentious debate regarding migrants from Bulgaria and Romania is the latest example of a divisive issue that remains at the top of the agenda for many national governments.

Professor Christian Dustmann, University College London and Director of CReAM, the Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration
