Book SynopsisCan it be argued that there exists a concept of Nordic citizenship, founded on inter-Nordic cooperation and its relationship with EU law and EEA law? Researchers from all five Nordic States (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) explore the tensions, gaps, and overlaps arising from the interplay of EU citizenship, EEA law, and the Nordic initiatives that aim to facilitate cross-border mobility of persons in the region. The analysis takes a dual approach. Firstly, it tracks the legal development of nationality law in Nordic states. Secondly, it sets out the rights of residence and access to social rights that follow from the three different regimes. It asks if the Nordic States, through their regional cooperation, are ‘going beyond’ EU free movement law, making naturalisation to a citizenship in a Nordic state particularly attractive. This important new work gives a unique perspective on EU citizenship and free movement law.Table of ContentsPART I INTRODUCTION 1.

Book SynopsisHow would we treat Paddington Bear if he came to the UK today? Perhaps he would be a casualty of extortionate visa application fees; perhaps he would experience a cruel term of imprisonment in a detention centre; or perhaps his entire identity would be torn apart at the hands of a hostile environment that delights in the humiliation of its victims. Britain thinks of itself as a welcoming country, but the reality is very different. This is a system in which people born in Britain are told in uncompromising terms that they are not British, in which those who have lived their entire lives on these shores are threatened with deportation, and in which falling in love with anyone other than a British national can result in families being ripped apart. Now fully updated to include the Nationality and Borders Bill, in this vital and alarming book, campaigner and immigration barrister Colin Yeo tackles the subject with dexterity and rigour, offering a roadmap of where we should go from here as he exposes the injustice of an immigration system that is unforgiving, unfeeling and, ultimately, failing.Trade Review"An incisive and compelling analysis of how muddled political thinking has caused our immigration laws to go so badly wrong, and what must be done to reform them. Highly readable and cogently argued, a copy should be put on the desk of every tabloid editor and every MP." - The Secret Barrister "Successive governments have allowed the UK's immigration laws to become ever more incomprehensible and increasingly unfair, confident that few will understand what is happening and even fewer will care. Colin Yeo understands the law better than most and cares very much indeed. As well as providing a highly readable account of what the law is, he offers his own vision of what it should become." - Joshua Rozenberg QC "Colin Yeo presents us with a forensic examination of the UK's labyrinthine, costly and dehumanising immigration system - a must-read." - Maya Goodfellow, author of Hostile Environment: How Immigrants Became Scapegoats "This is a brilliant and urgently necessary book. Colin Yeo writes piercingly about the chaotic cruelty of Britain's immigration system and offers meticulously well-informed proposals for reform of the Home Office. He strips away with lawyerly precision the nonsense which informs so much of our toxic debate on immigration. Packed with chilling accounts of lives ripped up by the Home Office, this is an intensely disturbing read." - Amelia Gentleman, journalist "Excellent ... delivers a powerful critique of the failings of the system and offers meticulously well-informed and realistic proposals for reform. Yeo is the perfect guide for a tour of Britain's broken immigration system." - Prospect

Book SynopsisRefugees are on the move around the globe. Prosperous nations are rapidly adjusting their laws to crack down on the so-called undeserving. Australia and Canada have each sought international reputations as humanitarian do-gooders, especially in the area of refugee admissions.Humanitarianism, Identity, and Nation traces the connections between the nation-building tradition of immigration and the challenge of admitting people who do not reflect the national interest of the twenty-first century. Catherine Dauvergne argues that in the absence of the justice standard for admitting newcomers, liberal nations instead share a humanitarian consensus about letting in needy outsiders. This consensus constrains and shapes migration law and policy. In a detailed consideration of how refugees and others in need are admitted to Australia and Canada, she links humanitarianism and national identity to explain the current shape of the law.If the problems of immigration policy wTrade ReviewCatherine Dauvergne’s study of the relationship between the migration laws of Australia and Canada and their national identities by no means sits on the uncritical side of this fence. One could say that this is due to her explicit use of critical theory. After surveying the work of liberal theorists on questions of migration, she situates herself within a critical school. She draws on Peter Fitzpatrick’s and Martha Minow’s insights regarding the dichotomous pairings and the inherent instability within liberal rights discourses and concepts (pp.25, 213). But her nuances analysis is more than a use of, or a borrowing from, the pages of critical theory. Indeed, one of the attractive features of this book is its originality. -- Jonathan Klaaren, Professor of Law, The University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg * Law and Politics Book Review *The strength of Dauvergne’s book lies in its bold attempt to connect the identity construction of the nation/state to migration laws. In doing so, she shifts the discourse of migration laws from its economic framework to a humanitarian one. This book is written in a fluid and accessible style that most readers will appreciate. In conclusion, this is an insightful text that can be used effectively for teaching purposes at the senior undergraduate level in the disciplines of sociology, law, social work, and political science. This text is also an excellent resource for research projects in the area of human right and migration laws. -- Parbattie Ramsarran, Department of Sociology, York University * Canadian Ethnic Studies, Vol. 37, No.2 *Table of ContentsPart 1: Reading Migration Laws1 Introduction2 The Insights of Identity3 Nation and Migration4 Humanitarianism and IdentityPart 2: Humanitarian Admissions to Australia and Canada5 Constructing Others: The Refugee Process6 Reflecting Ourselves: The Mirror of Humanitarianism7 Identities, Rights, and Nations8 ConclusionsAppedicesBibliographyIndex

Book Synopsis(B)ordering Britain argues that Britain is the spoils of empire, its immigration law is colonial violence and irregular immigration is anti-colonial resistance. In announcing itself as postcolonial through immigration and nationality laws passed in the 60s, 70s and 80s, Britain cut itself off symbolically and physically from its colonies and the Commonwealth, taking with it what it had plundered. This imperial vanishing act cast Britain’s colonial history into the shadows. The British Empire, about which Britons know little, can be remembered fondly as a moment of past glory, as a gift once given to the world. Meanwhile immigration laws are justified on the basis that they keep the undeserving hordes out. In fact, immigration laws are acts of colonial seizure and violence. They obstruct the vast majority of racialised people from accessing colonial wealth amassed in the course of colonial conquest. Regardless of what the law, media and political discourse dictate, people with personal, ancestral or geographical links to colonialism, or those existing under the weight of its legacy of race and racism, have every right to come to Britain and take back what is theirs.Trade Review'(B)ordering Britain is a hugely significant study that undertakes the urgent task of situating controversial topics such as migration and asylum within the larger history of empire and race. Powerfully written and knowledgeable, it brilliantly illuminates the links between colonialism, dispossession, poverty, racism, immigration and law, challenging familiar assumptions and complacent narratives about British imperial history as it does so. El-Enany demonstrates a fluent command of both law and history, at the intersection of which emerge the much-misunderstood and frequently mythologized figures of the "migrant", the "refugee", and the "asylum-seeker." Essential reading for anyone interested in how imperial history shapes the present.Priyamvada Gopal, author of Insurgent Empire: Anticolonial resistance and British dissent'One of our best hopes for intervening in colonialism as an ongoing project is to identify how that project has shaped and continues to shape our world. This book does just that. Through a careful analysis of British immigration law, Nadine El-Enany shows us not only how legal categories are racial categories but also how legacies of the British empire are “felt viscerally across the world.” This book is powerful and necessary, timely and urgent, clear and cogent. Highly recommended to anyone interested in unlearning colonial legacies.'Sara Ahmed, author of What’s the use and Living a feminist life'Shattering the dominant narrative that the British empire is something of the past, (B)ordering Britain tells the uncomfortable truth: colonialism is a condition that is thriving today. El-Enany offers a powerful legal critique of Britain’s immigration laws, which deny colonised subjects land and resources whilst exploiting the few they let in for the nation’s own economic advantage. Bravely speaking in terms of reparation rather than refuge, El-Enany’s book is as much a blueprint for racial justice across the globe as it is a forensic investigation into its racialised infrastructure.'David Lammy MP'Colonialism never really ends. The formerly colonized remain the targets of imperial power long after their lands have been looted. The concentration of wealth in the hands of white elites demands no less. (B)ordering Britain tells the legal story of an unbroken colonization where citizenship itself is the structure created to maintain the racial lines of colonial and capitalist accumulation. Close the gates, slow the exodus from the colonies to a trickle, and keep those who made it in under conditions of precarity: this is the basis of immigration and asylum law. El-Enany fearlessly tracks the imperial line in law from the first immigration and asylum laws to the Windrush Affair and Brexit. A timely and compelling book.' Sherene H. Razack, Distinguished Professor and the Penny Kanner Endowed Chair, the University of California at Los Angeles'This book's meticulous analysis of the racism that underpins UK immigration regimes is a searing indictment of British government policy, past and present. It is a hugely important contribution to understanding the relation between immigration and race, and a must read for students and scholars of migration.'Bridget Anderson, Director of the Bristol Institute on Migration and Mobility Studies and Professor of Migration, Mobilities and Citizenship'El-Enany’s erudite account of the colonial divisions and violence which contemporary immigration laws enact sets a new bar for future research on Britain’s Immigration and nationality laws.'Patricia Tuitt, Legal Academic, patriciatuitt.com, author of Race, Law and Resistance‘A supreme piece of demystification, which takes aim at one of the most prevalent and insidious errors of thought in modern times.’Morning Star'(B)ordering Britain is a bold and meticulous study of how contemporary Britain is the spoils of the empire. The book makes you sit up and take stock of what we may quite naively regard as the bygone empire, to be indeed the driving force of all the riches and wealth in present-day Britain. This is nothing short of a revolutionary stand, because the author retrieves the silences within law and tacit acceptances of colonial discrimination faced by racialized minorities in the UK, in everyday life – at the physical borders where they face scrutiny, or the heavy hand of an ever changing immigration system that fall disproportionately on racialized migrants.'Ethnic and Racial Studies'(B)ordering Britain is a timely and valuable contribution to an impressive line of work on citizenship and immigration law and their relationship with the meaning of British-ness.'Rieko Karatani, Journal of British Studies'The message of this book is that migration and immigration laws need to be understood in the historical context of British and European colonialism.'Sadie Chana, Patterns of Prejudice, 54(5)'The book's historical account of the role of migration law in defining British identity makes a key contribution to the existing literature. In addition, it also explains more recent trends and perspectives on immigration. The book will be most useful for students of law or those involved in immigration law, though policy-makers and the wider public might also benefit from its insights. Overall, El-Enany's argument has one important implication for Britain's future: although the country's postcolonial multicultural identity is not as ordered or justified as we like to think it is, it still presents a worthwhile and exciting goal.'David Lawrence, International Affairs, Volume 98, Issue 6 -- .Table of ContentsPreface Introduction: Britain as the spoils of empire 1 Bordering and ordering 2 Aliens: immigration law’s racial architecture 3 Subjects and citizens: cordoning off colonial spoils 4 Migrants, refugees and asylum seekers: predictable arrivals5 European citizens and third country nationals: Europe’s colonial embraceConclusion: ‘Go home’ as an invitation to stayNotesAcknowledgementsIndex

Book SynopsisTony Smith CBE spent his career managing our UK border controls, from junior immigration officer to Head of the UK Border Force. He spent more than four decades in the front line of the conflict between those who argue for open borders and free movement and those whose focus is on building barriers. He played a prominent role in managing security on both sides of the Atlantic after the 9/11 attacks in North America. Along the way he has worked constantly to make controls more efficient, better informed and fairer, yet less vulnerable to abuse. After retirement in 2013, he became a prominent media spokesman on border control issues, from tackling legal immigration crime, human smuggling and terrorist travel to managing borders through Brexit and beyond. This is his story.

Book SynopsisMany governments face similar pressures surrounding the hotly debated topic of immigration. Yet, the disparate ways in which policy makers respond is striking. The Comparative Politics of Immigration explains why democratic governments adopt the immigration policies they do. Through an in-depth study of immigration politics in Germany, Canada, Switzerland, and the United States, Antje Ellermann examines the development of immigration policy from the postwar era to the present. The book presents a new theory of immigration policymaking grounded in the political insulation of policy makers. Three types of insulation shape the translation of immigration preference into policy: popular insulation from demands of the unorganized public, interest group insulation from the claims of organized lobbies, and diplomatic insulation from the lobbying of immigrant-sending states. Addressing the nuances in immigration reforms, Ellermann analyzes both institutional factors and policy actors'' strategiTrade Review'With a sophisticated research design and deep knowledge of immigration politics across a range of liberal democracies, Antje Ellermann offers us a powerful explanation of why countries open and close their borders over time. The Comparative Politics of Immigration will be an instant classic in the field and a touchstone for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of immigration policy.' James F. Hollifield, Tower Center, SMU'I know of no book that more compellingly demonstrates the importance of political structures for explaining why some countries end up with liberal and others with restrictive immigration policies. Known for her brilliant previous book on deportations, Antje Ellermann is one of the leading political scientists studying immigration today.' Christian Joppke, University of Bern'The Comparative Politics of Immigration is the most intellectually satisfying analysis of immigration politics and policymaking available. Antje Ellermann masterfully combines high level theorizing, meticulous empirical research, and careful comparison to help us understand why contemporary liberal-democratic states have pursued such differing immigration policies despite facing similar challenges. A seminal work by an outstanding scholar.' Triadafilos Triadafilopoulos, University of Toronto'One of the book's greatest strengths is the clarity with which Ellermann presents a wide range of policy options in her case studies. She provides a nuanced analysis of immigration politics and policymaking that moves beyond the traditional approaches of immigration policies. Her focus on the policy dynamics is sustained by compelling arguments for each country examined.' Ariane Chebel D'Appollonia, Political Science QuarterlyTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2.

Book SynopsisWhile nominally protected across Europe, the human rights of vulnerable migrants often fail to deliver their promised benefits in practice. This socio-legal study explores both the concrete expressions and possible causes of this persistent deficit. For this purpose, it presents an innovative multifaceted evaluation of selected judgments of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the EU pertaining to such complex questions as the protection of persons fleeing from indiscriminate violence, homosexual asylum seekers, the Dublin Regulation, and the externalisation of border control. Highlighting the demanding character of migrant rights, the book also discusses some steps that could be taken to improve the effectiveness of Europe''s supranational human rights system including changes in judicial and litigation practice as well as a reconceptualization of human rights as existential commitments.Trade Review'With a rigorous methodology and laser-precise analysis, Baumgärtel shows the potential - if adequately prompted by rights defenders - for the European judiciary to steer migration policies towards a better protection of the human rights of migrants, despite the increasing nationalist populist pressure towards tighter 'securitisation' of the borders.' François Crépeau, Hans and Tamar Oppenheimer Professor in Public International Law, McGill University, Montreal'Zooming in on one of the most contentious fields of contemporary human rights struggles - migrant rights - this excellent monograph investigates what can be expected of European supranational jurisdictions. The study of the impact and/or effectiveness of strategies is a crucial yet still underdeveloped aspect of human rights work. Baumgärtel has developed a method that allows him to assess the results of the work of the Strasbourg and Luxemburg courts. Admirably, this author resists the temptation of surfing on the wave of human rights skepticism. Instead, he chooses constructive engagement with human rights theory as well as with strategies of courts and litigators, aimed at optimizing effectiveness.' Eva Brems, Ghent University, Belgium'[T]his book is highly recommended. The strength of Baumgärtel's work lies in the clarity of his arguments despite the complexity of the subject; his clear guidance on how to unpack human rights adjudication; his convincing and novel approach of using a vast array of sociolegal sources, ranging from the empirical methods of case assessment to qualitative interviews; and his thorough and occasionally provocative assessment of prevailing shortcomings regarding the realization of vulnerable migrants' rights, combined with numerous constructive proposals to advance these rights. These qualities make Demanding Rights a valuable contribution to theoretical critical human rights scholarship and to the work of human rights defenders alike.' Lena Riemer, International Journal of Constitutional Law'Moritz Baumgärtel's book … offers remarkably clear insight into the impact of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) jurisprudence on the actual protection of the rights of vulnerable migrants … Most importantly, he has included in the discussion the various stakeholders - courts, attorneys, state officials and, of course, migrants themselves. Adjusting remarkably well the theories of effectiveness to explain the perplexing and multi-dimensional causes and effects of European courts adjudication, Baumgärtel has created a book that is a valuable addition to the reading shelf both of a legal practitioner and a migrant rights advocate, introducing, simultaneously, a fresh set of ideas which could engage other researchers in fruitful discourse.'

Book SynopsisImmigration detention is considered by many states to be a necessary tool in the execution of immigration policy. Despite the apparently key role it plays in immigration enforcement, the law on immigration detention is often vague, especially in relation to determining the circumstances under which prolonged detention remains lawful. As a result, the courts are frequently called upon to adjudicate these matters, with scant legal tools at their disposal. Though there have been some significant judgments on the legality of detention at the constitutional level, the extent to which these judgments have had an impact at the lower end of the judiciary is unclear. Indeed, it is the lower courts which are tasked with judging the legality of detention through habeas corpus or judicial review proceedings. This book examines the way this has occurred in the lower courts of two jurisdictions, the UK and the US, and contrasts this practice not only in those jurisdictions, but with judgments rendered by the Court of Justice of the European Union, a constitutional court at the other end of the judicial spectrum whose judgments are applied by courts and tribunals in the EU Member States. Although these three jurisdictions use similar tests to evaluate the legality of detention, case outcomes significantly differ. Many factors contribute to this divergence, but key among them is the role that fundamental rights protection plays in each jurisdiction. Through a forensic evaluation of 191 judgments, this book compares the laws on detention in the UK, US and EU, and makes recommendations to these jurisdictions for improvement.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisWilliam D. Lopez details the incredible strain that immigration raids place on Latino communitiesand the families and friends who must recover from their aftermath. 2020 International Latino Book Awards Winner First Place, Mariposa Award for Best First Book - Nonfiction Honorable Mention, Best Political / Current Affairs BookOn a Thursday in November 2013, Guadalupe Morales waited anxiously with her sister-in-law and their four small children. Every Latino man who drove away from their shared apartment above a small auto repair shop that day had failed to returnarrested, one by one, by ICE agents and local police. As the two women discussed what to do next, a SWAT team clad in body armor and carrying assault rifles stormed the room. As Guadalupe remembers it, The soldiers came in the house. They knocked down doors. They threw gas. They had guns. We were two women with small children . . . The kids terrified, the kids screaming.In Separated, William D. Lopez examines the lasting damagTrade ReviewLopez's book is one of the most powerful examples to date of an academic using deep study and radical empathy to indict a profoundly evil system.—New RepublicLopez's style is revolutionary. He demonstrates that an alleged criminal can be a complex human with complex human connections. His book short-circuits narratives at the root of racist policies—about good vs. bad immigrants, legal vs. illegal people—by honoring the complex web around the sinners. When brown sinners are outlawed, their loved ones become prey, too.Separated is the result of hours of interviews with those affected, offering gumshoe FOIA-heavy journalism and a deep, empathetic understanding of community.—RemezclaNo social issues collection, particularly those strong in community makeup and immigration challenges, should be without this hard-hitting survey.—Donovan's Literary ServicesTable of ContentsIntroduction1.

Book SynopsisThrough case studies from Australia, Europe and the US, this book explores how emotion is central to understanding the formation of immigration policy. The author looks beyond the ‘negative’ emotions of fear and hostility to examine the politics of compassion in immigration and asylum policy discourse.Trade Review"Surely a must-read for scholars interested in the recent ‘refugee crisis’, and those who more broadly want to comprehend how compassion is used both to uphold and counter asylum and immigration policies… the first extensive study of how ‘benevolence’ is articulated in immigration and asylum debates in the ‘minority world’, making the book very topical and useful to understand ongoing events."

It deftly links theory and evidence to explain the ‘compassionate refusal’ used to justify exclusionary migration policies.” Hannah Jones, University of WarwickTable of ContentsA crisis of compassion The emotional politics of immigration and asylum Emotion, colonialism and immigration policy The intolerable death of Alan Kurdi Victims, villains and saviours Withholding compassion Outrage, responsibility and accountability Self-care and solidarity: the undocumented immigrant youth movement Conclusion

Book SynopsisHow many questions could you answer in a pub quiz about British values? Designed to ensure new migrants have accepted British values and integrated, the UK's citizenship test is often portrayed as a bad pub quiz with answers few citizens know. With the launch of a new post-Brexit immigration system, this is a critical time to change the test. Thom Brooks draws on first-hand experience of taking the test, and interviews with key figures including past Home Secretaries, to expose the test as ineffective and a barrier to citizenship. This accessible guide offers recommendations for transforming the citizenship test into a ‘bridge to citizenship’ which fosters greater inclusion and integration.Table of Contents1. A Bad Pub Quiz 2.

Book SynopsisRefugees living with disabilities are often forgotten or invisible during acute crises of human displacement. This groundbreaking work examines the experiences of persons with disabilities who have crossed borders in search of protection from disasters or conflict, and analyses the existing legal frameworks for their protection. The authors deftly explore the intersection between one of the oldest international human rights treaties, the 1951 Refugee Convention, with one of the newest, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Drawing on pioneering fieldwork in six countries - Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Uganda, Jordan and Turkey - this book examines how the CRPD is, or should be, changing the way that governments and aid agencies engage with and accommodate refugees with disabilities. Its timeliness is underscored by the adoption in 2016 of the UN Charter on Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action at the World Humanitarian Summit. Engaging and thought-provoking, this book will captivate any scholar studying international law, development, disability rights and refugee and forced migration studies. It is also an imperative resource for practitioners and policymakers in the humanitarian and development sector, as well as international human rights organisations.Trade Review'This pioneering book weaves together international human rights law as well as international humanitarian and refugee law in order to address the plight of an estimated 10 million disabled refugees in the world. It tracks the steady evolution of international humanitarian and refugee law to keep pace with the insights and new standards in the UN convention on the rights of persons with disabilities, complementing legal analysis with a detailed and highly accessible examination of the situation on the ground. This work will endure as the standard reference work on refugees with disabilities, opening up a new field and doubtlessly attracting many others to contribute to it. It has a major role to play in framing a reform agenda to narrow the gap between the majestic generalities of the UN disability treaty and the actual living conditions of many millions of persons with disabilities.' --Gerard Quinn, National University of Ireland'At a time when the whole world is in an emotional state about refugees, with escalating polarization and discrimination, it is easy to invoke antagonistic feelings about the ''other''. Sadly, our ideal of "living together" is being replaced by the word ''security'' each day and it is time we remember that there is another side to security. This is why I am honored to endorse this great book by Crock, Smith-Khan, McCallum and Saul; for reminding us of the protection issues and rights of refugees with disabilities, making them visible again. This book does not only provide a rich variety of field findings, identifying the complex issues related to forced displacement and disability in the field, but also offers great guidance on how to overcome these challenges through the utilization of international law.' --Safak Pavey, MP, Turkish Parliament and former member of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with DisabilitiesTable of ContentsContents: Part I Setting the Scene 1.

Book SynopsisThis discerning book examines EU migration and asylum polices in times of crisis by assessing old and new patterns of cooperation in EU migration management policies in the scope of third-country cooperation. The case studies explored reveal that there has been a clear tendency and strategy to move away from or go outside the decision making rules and institutional principles enshrined in the Lisbon Treaty to advance third country cooperation on migration management. It explores the implications of and effects of the adoption of extra-Treaty instruments and patterns of cooperation in the light of EU rule of law and fundamental rights principles and standards. The book, examines the ways in which the politics of migration crisis and their patterns of cooperation and legal/policy outcomes evidenced since 2015 affect and might even undermine EU's legitimacy in these policy areas. Constitutionalising the External Dimensions of EU Migration Policies in Times of Crisis will be a key resource for academics and students focussing on EU Law and migration more specifically. Timely and engaging, it will also appeal to policy- makers, legal practitioners and international organisation representatives alike.Trade Review‘The well-written introduction lays the foundation of the whole volume, which proves to be thought-provoking and cutting-edge.’ -- Kevin Fredy Hinterberger, Common Market Law Review'Whereas certain EU measures responding to the migration and asylum crisis, not least the EU Turkey ''Statement'' of March 2016, took observers by surprise, these actions are more accurately understood as part of a well-established tendency in EU cooperation with third countries on migration control. This volume offers a thought-provoking account of this tendency, pointing to its conceptual link to ''crisis labelling'' and to the constitutional challenges it poses to the Union principles of democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights.' --Jens Vedsted-Hansen, Aarhus University, Denmark'This highly topical book deals deeply with the fundamental issues raised by the external dimension of EU law in the field of migration. Combining historical and contemporary approaches, it proposes an original modelling of possible external co-operation in accordance with the rule of law. The authors are among the best specialists in these topics in Europe.' --Jean-Sylvestre Berge, Cote d Azur University and University Institute France, France'The external dimensions of EU migration policies can result in serious violations of the human rights of migrants, out of reach of EU human rights watchdogs. If the EU is to retain its reputation as a rule-based human-rights-respecting polity, such external dimensions need proper oversight and sharp critical assessment. This book provides a first and often damning evaluation of this complex policy field, but also outlines ways in which the EU could adopt a more ''comprehensive approach'' to migration policies.

The familiar, heartbreaking stories of dangerous treks, migrant exploitation, asylum, family separation and detention all have their roots in the material conditions of the dominant economic system. Immigrants' place in American democracy has long been intertwined with questions of cheap labor and exploitation, sovereign power, and the preservation of class relations. Through different facets of the immigration system, Borderlines explores how power and profit are perpetuated by the divisions between migrant and citizen and the resulting dehumanization of both. It demonstrates the necessity of a radical working-class demand for economic and political justice across borders and the edges of democracy.

Book SynopsisAs the law and politics of migration become increasingly intertwined, this thought-provoking Research Handbook addresses the challenge of analysing their relationship. Discussing the evolving theoretical approaches to migration, it explores the growing attention given to the legal frameworks for migration and the expansion of regulation, as migration moves to the centre of the global political agenda.The Research Handbook demonstrates that the overlap between law and politics puts the rule of law at risk in matters of migration as advocates around the globe increasingly turn to law to address the challenges of new migration politics. Presenting a fresh mapping of current issues in the field, it focusses on institutions of migration and analyses the securitization of migration management and the strengths and weaknesses of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.Written by leading scholars specialising in a range of disciplines, the Research Handbook on the Law and Politics of Migration will be an illuminating read for academics and students of migration studies with backgrounds in law, politics, criminology, sociology, history, geography and beyond.Trade Review'This Research Handbook is both timely and timeless - offering penetrating insight into contemporary developments in subjects as diverse as technology and migration, or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, while also offering fresh insights into persistent normative and conceptual debates in the field. It is bound to become a field-defining collection.' -- Audrey Macklin, University of Toronto, Canada'Dauvergne's elegant volume is a tour de force of the inseparability of migration law and politics. The weaknesses of existing migration frameworks are exposed at a time when the human desire to move has never been so universally shared nor so comprehensively thwarted. From impenetrable webs of repulsion and management to medico-legal borders in the time of a pandemic, this Research Handbook pushes us to question what the migration frameworks of tomorrow need to look like and all of the legal, political and institutional challenges they will bring. Brava.' -- Sharon Pickering, Monash University, Australia'This Research Handbook is a must-have for anyone seeking to truly understand the relationship between law, politics, and migration. It represents a unique collaboration among an interdisciplinary, transnational collection of pre-eminent scholars who apply their expertise to the most significant migration questions of the modern world. Its contribution lies in illuminating how migration issues have moved from the borders of our society to the center of law and politics on a scale that is at once global, intensely local, and ultimately personal.' -- Juliet Stumpf, Lewis and Clark Law School, USTable of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction to the Research Handbook on the Law and Politics of Migration : law, politics, and the spaces between 1 Catherine Dauvergne PART I FRAMING THE LAW AND POLITICS OF MIGRATION 2 The politics of migration law: interests, ideas, and institutions 8 Irene Bloemraad 3 Unsettling migration studies: indigeneity and immigration in settler colonial states 21 Antje Ellermann and Ben O’Heran 4 Migration politics at the meso-level 35 Erin Aeran Chung 5 The problem of boundaries: the constitution and the meaning of citizenship 47 Asha Kaushal 6 The trilemma of Canadian migrant worker policy: facilitating employer access while protecting the Canadian labour market and addressing migrant worker exploitation 63 Sarah Marsden, Eric Tucker, and Leah F.

Book SynopsisThis timely Handbook brings together leading international scholars from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and geopolitical perspectives to interrogate the intersections between migration and global justice. It explores how cross-border mobility and migration have been affected by rapid economic, cultural and technological globalisation, addressing the pressing questions of global justice that arise as governments respond to unprecedented levels of global migration. Chapters analyse the key issues arising from tensions between international and national priorities, duties and laws, as well as visions for human coexistence and harmony. Featuring chapters written by researchers, political activists and contributors with lived experience of migration injustice, the Handbook explores central topics including failures in refugee protection, worker exploitation and violence against migrants. Looking ahead, it also discusses possible pathways to achieve global justice in and through migration, in terms of geopolitics, subjective experience, human rights and redistributive justice, global solidarity and political activism. Combining empirical case studies with cutting-edge theory, this Handbook will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students of migration, human rights and public policy. The application of the global justice concept to issues of migration and border control will also be useful for policy makers, practitioners and NGOs in these areas.Trade Review‘This volume will be a valuable source for all scholars and students who are interested in the global and local manifestations of justice projects within the context of migration and mobility. Not only does it outline the complexity of actors, processes, conditions, and subjectivities within multiple arenas of migration-related justice claims, but it also focuses critical attention on the nexus between global justice and multiple interwoven facets of securitization, racialization, and marginalization.’ -- Anna Amelina, Miriam Friz Trzeciak, Ethnic and Racial Studies‘Handbook of Migration and Global Justice is an invaluable addition to college and university library Social Issues collections, worthy of the highest recommendation.’ -- James A Cox, Midwest Book Review‘Handbook of Migration and Global Justice brings together an impressive assemblage of migration scholars to analyze how nation-states have transformed immigration into crises that call forth intensified protection of both state boundaries and national identities. Truly global in scope, and firmly grounded in the political economy of labour and the politics of human rights, this book offers new insights into the subterranean forces and structural arrangements animating the largest human migration in history, as well as the ineffectual and routinely inhumane responses many destination nations have mobilized to thwart human needs for mobility. It is a must read for those interested in the cutting-edge of migration scholarship.’ -- Raymond J. Michalowski, Northern Arizona University, US'This is an important book that brings together normative and empirical considerations about the intersections of migration with global justice - and of migrants as workers and as carriers of rights. This Handbook is particularly timely in the light of the pandemic crisis which has highlighted the many contradictions involved between the global migration regime and migrants’ rights.

Book SynopsisIn The Oxford Handbook of the Politics of International Migration, leading migration experts Marc Rosenblum and Daniel Tichenor gather together 29 field specialists in an authoritative volume on the issue. Integrating the perspectives of the wide variety of fields that hold a stake in the study of migration-political science, sociology, economics, anthropology-this book presents an unprecedented interdisciplinary look at an issue that defines the modern era: the large-scale movement of people across international borders.The volume begins with three chapters analyzing the origins and causes of migration, including both source and destination states. The second section then asks: what are the consequences of migration at both ends of the migration chain? Chapters in this section consider economics, the effects of migration on parties and political participation, and social and cultural effects. A third group of chapters focuses on immigration policy.

Book SynopsisIn this comparative study of the contemporary politics of deportation in Germany and the United States, Antje Ellermann analyzes the capacity of the liberal democratic state to control individuals within its borders. The book grapples with the question of why, in the 1990s, Germany responded to vociferous public demands for stricter immigration control by passing and implementing far-reaching policy reforms, while the United States failed to effectively respond to a comparable public mandate. Drawing on extensive field interviews, Ellermann finds that these crossnational differences reflect institutionally determined variations in socially coercive state capacity. By tracing the politics of deportation across the evolution of the policy cycle, beginning with anti-immigrant populist backlash and ending in the expulsion of migrants by deportation bureaucrats, Ellermann is also able to show that the conditions underlying state capacity systematically vary across policy stages.Trade Review“In States Against Migrants Antje Ellermann provides an insightful and scrupulously researched examination of the practice of deportation across two countries and offers a subtle and original examination of the nature of the contemporary regulatory state. This is compelling political science.” -Matthew J. Gibney, University of Oxford“Antje Ellermann has written an important book on a controversial but neglected topic. Firmly grounded with the public policy literature, Ellerman offers a theory of divergent outcomes in ‘socially coercive’ public policy, one emphasizing the basic importance of bureaucratic actors. This book should be required reading for anyone interested in immigration, bureaucracy, and public policy.” -Randall Hansen, University of Toronto“Ellermann has written a powerful book that will be required reading for anyone interested in immigration control. By delving into the virtually unexplored area of deportation, she provides great insights into the difficulties that liberal democracies face in formulating and implementing immigration policy.” -James F. Hollifield, Southern Methodist University“In showing that ‘state capacity’ varies across policy stages, this lucid and richly documented book moves our understanding of the role of the state in immigration policy to new heights.

No single analysis brings home this point more effectively and compellingly than Antje Ellermann’s thoughtful and careful examination of comparative deportation strategies. This book goes where most have not gone before, ingeniously peeling off the under-layers of liberal state capacities to control migration in the modern era.” -Gallya Lahav, State University of New York at Stony BrookTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisTraces the institutional evolution of the Supreme Court and the US Courts of Appeals as illustrated in immigration cases. Law argues that the division of labor that has developed in the way cases are adjudicated by each court has significant consequences for the success of immigrant litigants at each level.Trade Review“While the overarching theme of this study is institutional change, the book presents a strong and nuanced analysis of the institutional context for the creation of immigration law… Overall, this book makes a tremendous contribution to an understanding of the connections between and within institutions and bureaucracies, the different federal appellate courts’ distinct institutional and political settings, and immigration law…It is a must-read for students of immigration and immigration law and institutional development. Well-written, insightful, and smart, this book is a solid piece of scholarly work that furthers an understanding of institutions, the highest U.S. federal courts, judicial decision making, and historical and contemporary immigration laws and policies.” – Jodie M. Lawston, California State University, San Marcos, Law and Society Review“Drawing on interviews with sitting judges, the developmental history of the courts, and analysis of the modes and use of legal reasoning, Professor Law employs both an expertise in political science and a robust understanding of legal analysis to illuminate the impact these extrajudicial institutional factors have on the ultimate merits decision of a case. By tracing the judicial response to the recent explosion in immigration appeals, Professor Law sketches a divided federal court system where the de facto final oversight of the courts of appeals render them more sympathetic to the facts of a case than the policy-driven Supreme Court.” – Harvard Law Review“Anna Law’s The Immigration Battle in American Courts manages to provide fresh insight into not one, but two, of the pressing issues of the day. An accomplished political scientist who has taken the time to learn what she needs of the legal system, Law demonstrates how the flood of immigration cases has changed the law and functioning of the court system, and how they in turn have had an impact on countless individuals. She also shows how under a torrent of cases, the Supreme Court can lose control of its lower courts. This book, rich with data, based on many interviews with judges, and deeply steeped in both the law and present realities, is an essential read for anyone interested in either immigration, or the workings of the US justice system.” —Barry Friedman, New York University School of Law“This is a provocative and important book. Professor Anna Law has provided us with a powerful view of how the federal courts adjudicate immigration cases. Her research is richly textured, drawing upon interviews with federal judges, careful analysis of specific cases, and an innovative quantitative database. The result is a sophisticated portrait of how the historical development and multilevel structure of the federal judiciary has had significant implications for immigrant litigants. A valuable contribution to both public law and immigration scholarship.” —Daniel J. Tichenor, University of Oregon“The Immigration Battle in American Courts is well-written, creative, and rigorously researched. It is the best book I have seen in demonstrating how differences in the unique and slowly-changing institutional contexts of the Supreme Court and the Courts of Appeals shape judges’ perceptions of what they should be doing and how they should be doing it, and thus their decision-making. It is a must-read for political scientists, legal scholars, historians, and policymakers who are experts in the Supreme Court and lesser federal courts, immigration law and policy, and American political development. It is also a must-read for the informed public and students who are interested in immigration policy and the place of federal courts in the American political system.” —Ronald Kahn, Oberlin College"This is an important and much-needed account, and Law tells a persuasive story in her thorough and comprehensive book.... It takes a close and serious look at one of the leading debates of this generation. Anyone interested in the immigration debate, the role of the federal courts in the federal system, judicial behavior, or the interaction among these complex variables would be well served by it." —Luis Fuentes-Rohwer, Indiana University, Perspectives on PoliticsTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisA comparative analysis of the governance of irregular migrants in France, Germany and the UK since the 1960s. Will appeal to scholars and students of immigration policy, irregular migration, and theories of state knowledge, as well as the growing field of agnotology (the study of ignorance).Trade Review'Based on impressive research that spans decades and countries, the authors show how state actors actively perpetuate ignorance about irregular migrants, often to serve their strategic ends. States of Ignorance is one of those rare books that makes you see the world differently.' Erik Bleich, Charles A. Dana Professor of Political Science, Middlebury College, Vermont'This rich and original collection of essays throws new light on the logics of state intervention in the complex and contentious field of unauthorised migration. Inverting the conventional figure of the state as an engine of evidence-based knowledge production about populations and mobilities, contributors unpick its less familiar role in the production of ignorance and information scarcity as deliberate strategies of governance and legitimation. This subtly deployed concept of 'state ignorance' unlocks fresh empirical and theoretical insights into the management of public expectations and the intended and unintended results of policy-making in this sensitive arena.' Jane Caplan, Emeritus Fellow, St Antony's College, University of Oxford'Boswell and Chabal have produced an outstanding volume on an essential but ill-understood topic: undocumented migration. They approach this highly complex and sensitive area with conceptual sophistication - focussing on ignorance (as an omission, a strategy, and an ascription) as a form of knowledge and knowledge production - and empirical rigor, with detailed empirical chapters on the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. This is a must-read for anyone who wishes to understand knowledge production, state capacity, and immigration in north-western Europe.' Randall Hansen, Canada Research Chair in Global Migration, University of Toronto'When do states pretend they do not see, and from which objects do they avert their gaze? This book compellingly argues that 'ignoring like a state' may be even more fundamental to contemporary governance than 'seeing like a state.' Deeply researched case studies about irregular migration in western Europe significantly enrich our knowledge of that phenomenon, showing how different state bureaucracies develop unique cultures of wilful ignorance.

Book SynopsisMany governments face similar pressures surrounding the hotly debated topic of immigration. Yet, the disparate ways in which policy makers respond is striking. The Comparative Politics of Immigration explains why democratic governments adopt the immigration policies they do. Through an in-depth study of immigration politics in Germany, Canada, Switzerland, and the United States, Antje Ellermann examines the development of immigration policy from the postwar era to the present. The book presents a new theory of immigration policymaking grounded in the political insulation of policy makers. Three types of insulation shape the translation of immigration preference into policy: popular insulation from demands of the unorganized public, interest group insulation from the claims of organized lobbies, and diplomatic insulation from the lobbying of immigrant-sending states. Addressing the nuances in immigration reforms, Ellermann analyzes both institutional factors and policy actors'' strategiTrade Review'With a sophisticated research design and deep knowledge of immigration politics across a range of liberal democracies, Antje Ellermann offers us a powerful explanation of why countries open and close their borders over time. The Comparative Politics of Immigration will be an instant classic in the field and a touchstone for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of immigration policy.' James F. Hollifield, Tower Center, SMU'I know of no book that more compellingly demonstrates the importance of political structures for explaining why some countries end up with liberal and others with restrictive immigration policies. Known for her brilliant previous book on deportations, Antje Ellermann is one of the leading political scientists studying immigration today.' Christian Joppke, University of Bern'The Comparative Politics of Immigration is the most intellectually satisfying analysis of immigration politics and policymaking available. Antje Ellermann masterfully combines high level theorizing, meticulous empirical research, and careful comparison to help us understand why contemporary liberal-democratic states have pursued such differing immigration policies despite facing similar challenges. A seminal work by an outstanding scholar.' Triadafilos Triadafilopoulos, University of Toronto'One of the book's greatest strengths is the clarity with which Ellermann presents a wide range of policy options in her case studies. She provides a nuanced analysis of immigration politics and policymaking that moves beyond the traditional approaches of immigration policies. Her focus on the policy dynamics is sustained by compelling arguments for each country examined.' Ariane Chebel D'Appollonia, Political Science QuarterlyTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2.

Book SynopsisThe Immigration Act of 1965 was one of the most consequential laws ever passed in the United States and immigration policy continues to be one of the most contentious areas of American politics. As a "nation of immigrants," the United States has a long and complex history of immigration programs and controls which are deeply connected to the shape of American society today. This volume makes sense of the political history and the social impacts of immigration law, showing how legislation has reflected both domestic concerns and wider foreign policy. John S. W. Park examines how immigration law reforms have inspired radically different responses across all levels of government, from cooperation to outright disobedience, and how they continue to fracture broader political debates. He concludes with an overview of how significant, on-going challenges in our interconnected world, including "failed states" and climate change, will shape American migrations for many decades to come.Trade Review"John S.W. Park offers both detail and perspective in this magisterial history of the impacts on society of immigration law and its enforcement in the United States. The scope of the book is breathtaking, from the immigration of the colonists to the travel bans issued in 2017 by President Trump."—Kevin Johnson, University of California, Davis "John S. W. Park has written a timely book that sheds light on one of the most critical issues of the day - immigration. This book is interdisciplinary in all the best ways – drawing tools and insights from across the social sciences and humanities. These astute analyses provide a deep understanding of how immigration laws came to be, what their consequences have been, and what our future may hold.

This collection includes work published by leading economists, as well as a number of important contributions made by influential legal scholars, with a focus on economic issues that are salient in debates over immigration policy. Professor Chang’s introduction not only explains the contribution that each reading makes to our understanding of immigration, but also surveys the literature more broadly, putting the selected readings in context.Trade Review‘It is almost impossible to underestimate the influence of economics upon immigration theory in today’s interconnected and globalized world. Howard F. Chang is one of the preeminent actors in this hybrid field of study, and has assembled a broad and deep cast in this volume, which usefully pulls together many studies and views. This will become an indispensable resource in the subject, as well as a detailed map of this important and growing academic area.’ -- Michael A.

Book SynopsisFor decades, the American political asylum process has been used to punish enemies and reward friends of the US government. Refugees from Cuba can walk through an open door. People fleeing Eastern Europe have been judged very differently than those trying to escape persecution in "friendly" but deeply violent states like Mexico, El Salvador, Colombia and Honduras.From a storefront law office in the US border city of El Paso, Texas, one man set out to challenge that system. Carlos Specter has filed hundreds of political asylum cases on behalf of human rights defenders, journalists, and political dissidents, and though his legal activism has only inched the process forward-98% of refugees from Mexico are still denied asylum-his myriad legal cases and the media fallout from them has increasingly put US immigration policy, the corrupt state of Mexico, and the political basis of immigration, asylum, and deportation decisions-on the spot.We Built the Wall is an immersive, engrossing story of a new front in the immigration wars.Trade ReviewPraise for Dreamers "Compelling, honest, and personal, this is a must-read for anyone interested in the immigration debate." --Booklist "A forthright, moving piece of advocacy journalism." --Kirkus Reviews "Truax succeeds in conveying how a shadow status permeates the lives of all the young people profiled here, with education, employment opportunities, and essential social services severely limited or unavailable." --Publishers Weekly

Book SynopsisIn this rich study, Roxana Barbulescu examines the transformation of state-led immigrant integration in two relatively new immigration countries in Western Europe: Italy and Spain. The book is comparative in approach and seeks to explain states'' immigrant integration strategies across national, regional, and city-level decision and policy making. Barbulescu argues that states pursue no one-size-fits-all strategy for the integration of migrants, but rather simultaneously pursue multiple strategies that vary greatly for different groups. Two main integration strategies stand out. The first one targets non-European citizens and is assimilationist in character and based on interventionist principles according to which the government actively pursues the inclusion of migrants. The second strategy targets EU citizens and is a laissez-faire scenario where foreigners enjoy rights and live their entire lives in the host country without the state or the local authorities seeking their integrTrade Review“Migrant Integration in a Changing Europe is a smart, insightful, and original take on the state’s role in the process of immigrant integration. Supported by extensive evidence drawn from the Italian and Spanish cases, it challenges the prevailing scholarly wisdom in arguing that immigration integration strategies significantly vary across time, immigrant groups, and levels of government while offering compelling reasons for these variations." —Anthony M. Messina, John R. Reitemeyer Professor of Political Science, Trinity College -- Anthony M. Messina, John R. Reitemeyer Professor, Trinity College“The vast literature on immigrant integration in Western democracies assumes that states pursue coherent policies that they apply to all foreign nationals. Roxana Barbulescu challenges such simplistic views by showing that immigrant integration policies differ strikingly. This book is essential reading for all those who want to understand immigrant integration policies.” —Rainer Bauböck, Chair in Social and Political Theory, European University Institute, Florence"Debates on migrant integration in Europe have for too long dwelt on the 'models' of northwest Europe, often reifying national culture differences. Migrant Integration in a Changing Europe illustrates the way Italy and Spain have pioneered integration through differentiation, undermining normative conceptions of citizenship. The study represents an important analytical advance in comparative migration studies." —Adrian Favell, Chair in Sociology and Social Theory at the University of Leeds"Migrant Integration in a Changing Europe examines the critically important topic of immigrant integration in the new immigration countries of Italy and Spain and fills a significant gap in the literature. It reveals that previous scholarship in this area has used too broad a brush in describing and theorizing immigrant integration. This is a must read for immigration scholars as well as for those interested in public policy cross-nationally." —Kitty Calavita, Chancellor's Professor Emerita of Criminology, Law and Society, University of California, IrvineTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.
