ABOUT THIS BOOK

The pieces in this volume offer fresh approaches to a variety of debates over migration policy. The authors of these essays explore migration policymaking in ten European countries, looking at the way social scientists and politicians form and implement these policies. Migration Policymaking in Europe contains original insights and in-depth comparative analyses drawing on a variety of empirical evidence. By placing these policies in the context of historical relationships between nations, the editors of this book have put forth a vital new portrait of the principles guiding migration in Europe.

REVIEWS
“This well-researched volume illuminates the ways in which European countries make policies on the often controversial issues raised by immigration. Useful for both academics and policymakers, the comparative perspective highlights important areas of continuity and change in policies and decision-making.” -- Susan F. Martin, Donald G.
