Ms. Higashimura wrote the section titled "The Welfare State and Immigrants." This section provides an overview and history of welfare, which originated in European nations generally considered to be welfare states, and examines changes in welfare brought about in large part by massive influxes of migrants and refugees (into Europe) in recent years, explores the growing support for anti-welfare movements as the result of these conditions, and analyzes and breaks down these issues from a political science perspective.
