Abstract
(Englisch)
This thesis investigates the political reaction in Rotterdam and Vienna to immigration from the new EU member states after EU enlargement in 2004 and 2007. Local governments cannot control immigration and therefore have to resort to other policies to react to an influx of immigrants. It is explored how the presence of populist radical right parties in the political system of both cities has had an influence on the policies adopted by other parties. An analysis of the policies implemented in both cities concludes that in Rotterdam, the city has taken up a very active role by bringing together all relevant stakeholders to combat the negative side-effects of the immigration from the new member states. Over the entire political spectrum, fears exist that this immigration flow puts another burden on a city that its policy makers regard as having too many already. Vienna, on the contrary, has not developed specific policy on immigration from the new member states, but accommodates it through general immigration and integration policies. The reaction in both cities fits into the cities’ respective traditions on how to deal with immigration, but these traditions diverge significantly. This shows that the emergence of the populist radical right has led to various responses from other parties, depending greatly on local contextual factors.
