Migration is one of the most vexing policy issues of our time. In
this Handbook the editors have assembled an all-star cast of
scholars to look at the many dimensions of migration policy. The
book breaks new ground and it will be required reading for anyone
seriously interested in how and why states seek to control the
movement of people across borders.' - James F. Hollifield, Southern
Methodist University, USIn this comprehensive Handbook, an
interdisciplinary team of distinguished scholars from the social
sciences explores the connections between migration and social
policy. They test conflicting claims as to the positive and
negative effects of different types of migration against the
experience of countries in Europe, North America, Australasia, the
Middle East and South Asia, assessing arguments as to migration s
impact on the financial, social and political stability and
sustainability of social programs. The volume reflects the authors'
curiosity about the controversy over the connection between social
and cultural diversity and popular support for the welfare state.
Providing timely and original chapters which both critique the
existing literature as well as build on and advance theoretical
understanding, the authors focus on the formal settlement and
integration polices created for migrants as well as corollary state
policies affecting migrants and migration. A clutch of chapters
investigates the linkage between migration and trade theory,
foreign direct investment, globalization, public opinion, public
education and welfare programs. Chapters then deal with leading
receiving states as well as India and the authors examine the
regulation of migration at the subnational, national, regional and
global levels. The topic of migration and security is also covered.
This compelling and exhaustive review of existing scholarship and
state-of-the-art original empirical analysis is essential reading
for graduates and academics researching the field. Contributors
