Summary:

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