One is based on the idea of cool attachment: citizens should adhere to the procedural rules of the state and should not harbour strong emotional attachments to the nation. The other holds that citizens should do more than simply abide by the procedures; they should think of themselves as belonging to a people. The first view focuses on justice and tolerance, the second on collective identity and a concern for the common good which is nurtured by feeling as well as reason. Proceduralism has more currency among intellectuals and members of the policy elite, while the idea of a national people is probably more popular with the electorate. The current move to legalise dual citizenship illustrates the political dominance of proceduralism.","PeriodicalId":85256,"journal":{"name":"People and place","volume":"10 1","pages":"57-70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70433125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this says little about average living standards. A recent study by Econtech has shown that the lower immigration flowing from the Government’s 1996 reforms is compatible with higher average living standards. This is consistent with a large body of research which indicates that immigration does not have a substantial positive effect on living standards, Rather, the effect is small and could be positive or negative. The difficulty of boosting skilled immigration without lowering average skill levels reduces the economic attractions of higher immigration. Copyright.
