Immigration, particularly asylum, has become a major political
issue in Britain and Europe and its impact on welfare, employment
and 'social cohesion' highly contested. While asylum policy has
become more punitive, dependence on immigrant labour has been
increasingly acknowledged by governments which attempt to 'manage'
migration to secure the benefits without the presumed costs. The
book provides an essential background to understanding these
debates. Based on documentary sources and primary research, it
focuses mainly on Britain within an international and European
context. The first part examines different theoretical approaches
to understanding migratory flows and strategies. It explores forced
and voluntary migration, the gender dimension in migration
decisions and transnational links maintained by migrants. Part two
focuses on continuities and change in migration policy and how
boundaries have shifted to exclude and include different groups. It
explores links between immigration policy, welfare and social
exclusion, and migrants' experiences in negotiating and challenging
these policies. The book concludes by questioning whether
immigration controls can be justified on either ethical or
practical grounds. The book will be a key text for students and
researchers of migration and ethnicity, and of social policy and
welfare. It will be of interest to professionals working with
migrants and refugees and to all those concerned with migrant
rights.
