Description
Welfare Nationalism in Europe and Russia explores the complex relationship between social welfare policies and migration politics across Europe and Russia. Linda J. Cook investigates how welfare systems have become central to nationalist political movements and immigration debates in the contemporary era.
The book analyzes both exclusionary migration policies that prioritize national citizens and limit immigrant access to welfare benefits, as well as inclusionary strategies aimed at integrating migrants into social systems. Cook examines case studies across multiple European nations and Russia, demonstrating how political leaders have leveraged welfare nationalism to build electoral coalitions and shape public opinion on immigration.
Through historical analysis and comparative politics, this work provides essential insights into how welfare state traditions intersect with identity politics, national belonging, and migration governance in the 21st century.
