      title = {Selecting by Origin : Ethnic Migration in the Liberal  State /},
      abstract = {In a world of mutually exclusive nation-states,  international migration constitutes a fundamental anomaly.  No wonder that such states have been inclined to select  migrants according to their origins. The result is ethnic  migration. But Christian Joppke shows that after World War  II there has been a trend away from ethnic selectivity and  toward non-discriminatory immigration policies across  Western states. Indeed, he depicts the modern state in the  crossfire of particularistic and universalistic principles  and commitments, with universalism gradually winning the  upper hand. Thus, the policies that regulate the boundaries  of states can no longer invoke the particularisms that  constitute these boundaries and the collectivities residing  within them. Joppke presents detailed case studies of the  United States, Australia, Western Europe, and Israel. His  book will be of interest to a broad audience of  sociologists, political scientists, historians, legal  scholars, and area specialists.},
