• Controlling a New Migration World

  4 April 2005
  This book examines the efforts of contemporary western states to control international migration. Its purpose is to circumscribe the new strategies and instruments of control thar migrant receiving states have devised at the local, national, and transnational levels to scope with new forms of migration that deviate fundamentally from classic, settlement-oriented immigration: illegal migration, mass asylum-seeking, circular migration patterns ‘on the ground’. This books explores the impact of migration flows on the development of state policies and, in turn, sheds light on the unintended consequences of policies for the new character of migration.
