This book examines how and why liberalism and human rights have
proven insufficient to protect immigrants. Contemporary immigration
systems are characterized by increasing complexity and expanding
enforcement, and frequently criticized for violating human rights
and for causing death, exclusion and exploitation. The 'migrant
crisis' can also be understood as a crisis of hospitality for
liberal democracies. Through analysis of the immigration histories
and political dynamics of Britain and the US, the book explains how
these two archetypal liberal states have both sought to create a
hostile environment for unwanted immigrants. The book provides a
fresh and original perspective on the development of immigration
systems, showing how they have become subject to the politics of
fear and greed, and revealing how different traditions of
hospitality have evolved, survived, and renewed.
Labour migration has become one of the hot topics in Europe,
especially since 2000 with the shift from restriction to managed
migration. This book provides an authoritative account of policy
change over labour migration in Europe during this new era of
governance. It has important implications for debates about the
contemporary governance of labour migration in Europe, and
questions about the impact of an emergent EU migration regime in
the context of a globalising labour market. The key findings offer
a deeper understanding of the linkages between those engaged in
policymaking and the kinds of communities that produce usable
knowledge. It will therefore be essential reading for academics,
practitioners and students of migration and national policy
processes in the EU. It will be an invaluable resource for
individuals and organisations active in the immigration policy
community, including policymakers themselves, but also the wider
network of NGOs, think tanks and interest groups. -- .
Modern slavery, in the form of labour exploitation, domestic
servitude, sexual trafficking, child labour and cannabis farming,
is still growing in the UK and industrialised countries, despite
the introduction of laws to try to stem it. This hugely topical
book, by a team of high-profile activists and expert writers, is
the first to critically assess the legislation, using evidence from
across the field, and to offer strategies for improvement in policy
and practice. It argues that, contrary to its claims to be
'world-leading', the Modern Slavery Act is inconsistent, inadequate
and punitive; and that the UK government, through its labour market
and immigration policies, is actually creating the conditions for
slavery to be promoted.
