dc.description.abstract	The objective of this chapter is to answer the following question: what are the political effects of public attitudes to migration in the southern and eastern Mediterranean? To answer this question, a series of sub-questions are posed: what are attitudes to immigration in the region? How have migration patterns developed in the SPCs in the past decade? What kind of policies have countries adopted? And what explains these policies? To what extent can they be explained by attitudes to immigration? The methodology of this chapter is to analyse pan-regional quantitative data and consider qualitative data from four main country cases to represent the two main regions of the Mediterranean: Morocco and Tunisia in the south of the Mediterranean and Jordan and Lebanon in the East-Mediterranean region – in addition to the particular case of Palestine. We start by offering a broad description of attitudes to immigration in the region, using the most high-quality, comparative data sources available. Next, we review the main features of migration from and to the region since independence and particularly the main developments in the past 20-30 years. We then go on to develop more focused narratives of the main policies undertaken by the governments of Morocco, Tunisia, Jordan, and Lebanon in response to both the emigration of their nationals and the immigration of foreigners to their territory. By way of comparison to the first chapter of this report, which studied Europe, a special focus will be given to public opinion and related factors such as civil society activism and their role in shaping these policies.	en
