In recent decades, the migration of population from east to west in Europe has mainly been ethnically-based, with migrants having or claiming a common culture, religion, or language, or a common ancestry with the population of a western country moving to that motherland. The largest population movement of this kind has been ethnic Germans from Poland, Romania, and the former Soviet Union migrating to Germany. However, during the late 1980s, the rapid increase in Germany in the number of asylum seekers, family members of migrant workers, Germans from the German Democratic Republic, and ethnic Germans from Eastern Europe led the German government to introduce a series of measures to restrict immigration. This paper describes the efforts of successive German governments to regulate and control the immigration of ethnic Germans from Eastern Europe. The effect of those instruments upon the migration movement and the relative effectiveness and ineffectiveness of the policy instruments are explored through comparing migration from Poland, Romania, and the former USSR. Hypotheses upon the limits of governmental efforts to control migration and some typical characteristics of ethnic migration influencing policy-making are discussed.
