The Politics of Immigration: Contradictions of the Liberal State
Immigration is one of the most contested issues on the political agenda of liberal states across Europe and North America. While these states can be open and inclusive to newcomers, they are also often restrictive and exclusionary. The Politics of Immigration examines the sources of these apparently contradictory stances, locating answers in the nature of the liberal state itself.
The book shows how four defining facets of the liberal state – representative democracy, constitutionalism, capitalism, and nationhood – generate conflicting imperatives for immigration policymaking, which in turn gives rise to paradoxical, even contradictory, policies. The first few chapters of the book outline this framework, setting out the various actors, institutions and ideas associated with each facet. Subsequent chapters consider its implications for different elements of the immigration policy field, including policies towards economic and humanitarian immigration, as well as citizenship and integration. Throughout, the argument is illustrated with data and examples from the major immigrant-receiving countries of Europe and North America.
This book will be essential reading for students and researchers in migration studies, politics and international relations, and all those interested in understanding why immigration remains one of the most controversial and intractable policy issues in the Western world.

Can Western civilization stop its decline? The West gave the World the light bulb, the internal combustion engine and much more that vastly improved the life on earth. But lately, the West is tired, hopeless, and dying. Author Shivaji Lokam says Western countries have been in a self-destruction mode for the past hundred years: first the two World Wars, then the Cold War, now the Experts-driven utopian pursuit of Open Borders and Multiculturalism.
The unaccountable experts have been wrong more times than anybody can count. They were wrong on financial crisis, bailouts, stagnant wages, higher taxes, brexit, trump, global trade deals. The experts failed because they were part of the problem. This incredible book tells the story of why they get it wrong every time and their pivotal role in causing the irreversible Western decline.
In The fall of Western Civilization you will learn:
- How Classical Liberalism caused World Wars, Great Depression, Socialism, Fascism, Cold War, and Decolonization
- Why Modern Liberalism wants nothing short of the full destruction of the West and its values
- Why the West is becoming less free
- How America and Europe’s destruction were long sown in the novel ideas that came out of the European Enlightenment two hundred years ago
- Why the elites in the West are utterly clueless and how their fancy education never contributed anything positive
- What were the ultimate causes of the 2008 Financial Crisis that crippled the western economies
Based on extensive research and fresh understanding of economics, Author Shivaji Lokam weaves through the forces of industry, technology, human nature, religion, and nation-state, to tell how and why the West is collapsing.
Original and fresh, The fall of Western Civilization is essential reading to understand why Liberalism has been the greatest hoax ever played on the West.

This book explains how the events of Global Climate Change are SIGNS OF THE ‘END TIME’. In presenting this evidence, first, the book tells how ‘Strange and Unusual Signs’ are occurring on Planet Earth. The signs are evident in the Sky, on the Land, in the Waters, and with the Weather. In each of the mentioned areas, the lives of animals and people are affected by sickness and death. Second, the book presents the scientific evidence and tells how science makes a claim that the signs in the sky, on the land, in the waters, and with the weather are because of Global Climate Change. Besides, science states that the cause of the events is the warming of the earth by people. Also, if this warming process does not stop, Planet Earth will end. Third, the book does not deny science’s fact that Global Climate Change is real, but it shows that the evident SIGNS presented are of a different origin and that climate change is a tool. So, the events which science is calling events of Global Climate Change are SIGNS OF THE ‘END TIME’ which are the exact predictions of the Bible. Fourth, the book then presents and explains from the prophecies of the Old Testament prophets, the Gospels of Jesus Christ, and Epistles of the New Testament, the proof of occurring signs. Fifth, the proof is overwhelming, to see how God has endowed the scientists to make predictions about Global Climate Change, which is online with the predictions of the Bible, God’s Holy Word. Sixth, the book concludes by giving the readers an opportunity TO THINK ABOUT a few things: (1) The Truth of the Events of Climate Change and the Signs of the ‘End Time’, (2) Why is God Using Strange and Unusual Signs? and (3), What is Your Decision? Readers will not be disappointed in their reading of this book. Get a copy from Amazon, read, see, and learn how God is still in charge of all the events that are occurring on Planet Earth.
