Summary

The concluding chapter discusses two implications of my argument about going beyond cosmopolitanism. First, I discuss the implications of my argument for debates about national identity in twenty-first–century Western Europe. I suggest there may be more common ground in these arguments than we commonly realize. Second, I explore what we might expect for the balance of power between immigration supporters and opponents. I suggest that anti-immigration Europeans may continue to have more strength in electoral politics while pro-immigration Europeans are active in civic engagement, which could continue as a dual-track model of immigration politics. However, the status quo is likely to evolve, whether through anti-immigration overreach or increasingly acute labor market shortages, so the balance of power calculations are likely to change as well.
