Immigration Admissions

Kay Hailbronner is professor of international law, European law, and constitutional law at the University of Konstanz and director of the Research Center of European and International Law of Immigration and Asylum at that institution. He is the author of numerous books and articles on immigration and asylum matters, among them Current Asylum in Germany (University of California, Berkeley, 1995).

"The appearance of this series... is welcomed as a useful antidote to the usually ill-informed debate in both Western Europe and the U.S.... The chapters are well researched, informative and clearly written, and provide a substantial background and stimulating ideas for policy-makers to consider... The authors are to be congratulated on such a comprehensive analysis, and for proposing a more humane and tolerant approach to this issue which has so often lacking." - Labor Focus on Eastern Europe
