The term used in a sentence:

“the adoption of immigrant-exclusionary reforms in the Netherlands does not follow the logic of a balancing act between economic imperatives for reform and democratic opposition to retrenchment. Instead, it is driven by ideological motivations and is mostly frustrated by (inter)national legal prohibitions on discrimination and human right violations. “

“Recent policy debates and action on ‘social cohesion’ and ‘integration’ in the field of immigration have prompted some observers to comment on the return of exclusionary nation-centered citizenship projects in Europe.”
