Download or read book Policy Frames on Spousal Migration in Germany written by Laura Block and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-29 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laura Block asks how liberal democracies manage to restrict migration in spite of liberal constraints. She analyses the political debates surrounding spousal migration policies from 2005–2010 in Germany and reveals government strategies that restrict spousal migration while staying within the discursive realm of individual rights. By circumscribing and scrutinising both the membership status necessary to access the right to family protection and the family ties in question, restricting spousal migration is legitimised.
