20世纪后期美国与澳大利亚移民政策差异性的政治理论分析

论文利用移民政治理论对20世纪后期美国与澳大利亚的移民政策进行比较,并对其差异性进行了分析。认为这两个主要的移民国家都推行了限制性移民政策,但因其移民政治中的"利益导向",受"权利"的制约程度以及移民政策制定程序的不同,从而导致两国的移民政策无论在内容上还是在实际收效上都出现了巨大的差别。据此可以预测两国未来移民政策的趋势:美国将继续在自由主义的道路上前行,而澳大利亚却可以根据国内外政治经济形势的变化灵活地调整移民政策。

A Political Analysis on the Difference of Immigration Policies Adopted by the United States and Australia during the late 20th Century

During the late 20^th century, under the increasing domestic pressure of anti - immigration emotion, both the United States and Australia started to tighten their previously relaxed immigration policies. Nevertheless, affected by factors such as conflicts of interest groups, judicial intervention upon immigration restrictions, and power granted to executive institutions, in varying degrees, the two countries went their own ways in their immigration reforms. The authors of this article attempt to employ ＂interest-oriented＂ theory, ＂rights-based liberalism＂ theory, and ＂institutionalism＂ theory to explain why these two countries adopted different paths in their immigration reforms.
