Citizenship, Immigration and Insecurity in Australia explores how Australia’s policies on migration and nationality have shaped citizenship and social inclusion.

The book examines the historical and contemporary intersections of citizenship, migration, and insecurity, analysing key issues such as the prioritization of economic utility in migration policy, cultural expectations placed on newcomers, and the role of migrants in political debate. It critically assesses Australia’s responses to challenges such as demographic ageing, cultural diversity and erosion of political authority. The impact of emergency measures during the COVID-19 pandemic is also explored, revealing the fragility of citizenship protections in times of crisis.

This book is an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, and professionals in migration studies, political science, and public policy, as well as anyone interested in the evolving dynamics of citizenship and migration in Australia and beyond.

Heli Askola is an Associate Professor in the Law Faculty at Monash University, Australia. Her primary interests lie in studying the various legal, social and political practices through which states seek to manage and control movement across international borders and the incorporation of (im)migrants, and the ways in which these efforts shape the lives of both migrants and citizens. Heli has authored a number of peer-reviewed publications in these areas, including two monographs, The Demographic Transformations of Citizenship (2016) and Legal Responses to Trafficking in Women for Sexual Exploitation in the European Union (2007).
