| Title | Xenophobia and the German Economy: 1991 - Present |
| Summary | The phenomenon of xenophobia in Germany was not studied in earnest until shortly after the Cold War's conclusion. Today, there is very little literature that discusses xenophobia's economic implications for the country, due to the fact that such effects are still being played out. For many non-Germans, though, xenophobia in the country discourages consumption of German goods, and it is intensified xenophobia as a reaction against immigration that creates negative outcomes for the German economy, as opposed to labor issues. This, though, is irrelevant to anti-immigrant German politicians, who utilize sterilized data to build a case against in-migration of out-group individuals. It is not the presence of xenophobia that distinguishes Germany, of course, but the fact that it exists in spite of the measures that the German government has taken to discourage xenophobia in the first place. |
