Offering an in-depth analysis of the impact of the economic crisis
(2008-2012) on immigration movements and policies in the U.S. and
Europe, the analysis in this book is guided by two key questions:
What is the scope of change?; and did the crisis motivate this
change or did other factors do so? The contributions to the book
find that the crisis had immediate effects on migration patterns -
migrants left crisis-stricken countries, naturalised in non-crisis
countries where they had previously settled, or stopped migrating
to formerly attractive countries which had been negatively affected
by the crisis. Whereas prior to the crisis the majority of migrants
were highly-skilled, during the crisis there was a shift to
vulnerable groups such as low-skilled workers and women. The book
also finds that migration policies have indeed changed in times of
crisis. However, these changes are neither exclusively restrictions
nor liberalisations, but encompass changes in both directions.
Despite the coincidence of many policy changes with the crisis,
these changes are not primarily induced by the crisis. Instead,
politicians rhetorically used the crisis to promote both liberal
and restrictive policy changes which were already in the making
before the crisis. This book was originally published as a special
issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.

State borders regulate cross-border mobility and determine peoples'
chances to travel, work, and study across the globe. This book
looks at how global mobility is defined by borders in 2011 in
comparison to the 1970s. The authors trace the transformation of
OECD-state borders in recent decades and show how borders have
become ever more selective.
