Anthony M. Messina is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame. He is the author of Race and Party Competition in Britain and is the editor of several books, including most recently (with Robert M. Fishman) The Year of the Euro: The Cultural, Political and Social Import of Europe's Common Currency. He has also written articles published in the Journal of Common Studies, Parliamentary Affairs, Political Studies, Policy Studies Journal, The Review of Politics, West European Politics, World Politics, and other scholarly journals and anthologies.

"Wide-ranging, authoritative, and fair, this is a comprehensive and ambitious study of the entire body of political science scholarship dealing with postwar immigration in Europe. Messina’s conclusion that this migration is interest driven and has been and primarily remains defined and governed by sovereign national governments and states is well-supported by his substantive chapters." Gary P. Freeman, The University of Texas at Austin
