Irregular Migration is an extremely timely and topical book,
analysing the fundamental tensions at the core of present attempts
to manage the movement of population in today's world. Recent
events around the globe have prompted a reappraisal of the emerging
consensus on migration control. Business demands free movement
while nations fear unregulated population flows. The replacement of
immigration control with migration management is the aim of First
World governments as irregular migration challenges states'
attempts to find a balance between recruitment of labour,
humanitarian protection and national security. This book provides a
theoretical framework for the analysis of mobility and border
crossings in an age of globalisation. It draws upon the authors'
pioneering research on people working in the UK without proper
immigration status, the organisations that support immigrants, and
the responses of control agencies and public services. Losers in
the global economy, who vote with their feet as economic migrants,
are making a claim to justice as well as trying to improve their
standards of living. The book concludes with an evaluation of the
justification for border controls, and of the prospects for
migration regimes under conditions of growing inequality. This
fascinating book will be warmly welcomed by academics and
researchers in economics, politics, migration studies, social
policy and economic geography. NGOs and policymakers concerned with
immigration, asylum and public service provision will also find
this invaluable reading.
