By Bram Lancee

This definitive study offers an in-depth analysis of the role of social capital in Western labor markets. To address the vital question of how migrants take advantage of social relations between indigenous people and their own ethnic group, Bram Lancee surveys the impact of various forms of social capital on the integration of immigrants into their new labor markets in Germany and the Netherlands, producing an important comparative study for those two bordering countries.
