Sample text

If one agrees that states are organisations (or networks of organisations) designed to use power for the effective processing of binding decisions it seems puzzling that states need territories for this purpose and that states must be immobile. Other organisations in society with different purposes are not in the least as dependent on ‘fixed bodies’. Business enterprises as organisations of the economic system are certainly coupled to physical extensions such as production and administration facilities; but economic organisations—just like human beings —can move their bodies and are not forced to occupy the same space all the time in order to maintain their organisational identity.

Freeman (1986) seems unduly concerned when he warns, as we saw earlier, that immigration has led to the ‘Americanisation of European welfare politics’. It has, however, accentuated the American nature of US welfare politics. Substate nationalism and social citizenship The implications of international migration in contemporary Europe are also placed in perspective by comparison with the challenge to social citizenship rooted in substate nationalism. Countries such as Belgium, Canada, Spain and the United Kingdom face a second dimension of cultural pluralism: a multination society and the mobilisation of substate nationalist movements rooted in distinctive linguistic and cultural traditions.

As we shall see, variations in the shape of the welfare state itself increasingly define the political landscape on which tensions between diversity and social policy are managed by governments. The politics of international migration suggests that the real challenge to social citizenship comes from majorities rather than minorities. In contrast to nationalist minorities discussed below, immigrant minorities tend to seek incorporation into the mainstream of society. To be sure, they normally strive to preserve their traditions, and often live in transnational communities, with psychological attachments to both their country of origin and their new home.
