DESCRIPTION:This paper examines the making of immigration policy in France
  and Britain during the 1980s. More  specifically\, it examines whether a
 nd how European developments fed back into domestic immigration policy. Be
 ginning in the late 1970s and carrying throughout the 1980s\, there was a 
 burst of activity at the European level\, from the informal\, intergovernm
 ental cooperation between interior ministers of the TREVI group\; to the S
 chengen agreements\, which abolished internal borders for participating co
 untries\; to Maastricht\, which incorporated developments of the previous 
 decade into expanded and formalized EU structures.  What\, historically\,
  have France and Britain’s priorities regarding immigration been? How is
  immigration policy made\, given that it must respond to contrary imperati
 ves\, even within government? Does modern immigration policy reflect Europ
 e’s democratic deficit? How well have states ever been able to implement
  immigration policy? If poorly\, what function does declaring an immigrati
 on policy serve?
