Summary

This chapter explores three potential avenues for future research. First, I discuss variation in the logic of support for immigration. I argue that cultural logics are more emotional and more likely to promote civic engagement. Economic logics are more deeply embedded in rational argument, but may be more persuasive to a wider audience. Second, I examine whether immigrants have become more satisfied with their lives in Europe, as a result of broad shifts in the attitudinal climate. Third, I place West European attitudes in a global context. I find that Western Europe is one of the more pro-immigration regions, which suggests support may not continue to grow indefinitely.
