Although different approaches and theories enrich the field, we need more agreement on the nature of the phenomenon we are trying to understand. ‘Talking across disciplines’ makes a persuasive case for structured comparisons, in time, space and scale and as such is a crucial intervention that helps us to accumulate knowledge in a more systematic, efficient and encompassing way.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeo Lucassen\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eDirector of the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam, Professor in Global Labour and Migration History, Leiden University\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Understanding migration requires insight into movement across geographies, economic drivers and impacts, change over time, social and cultural integration, as well as law and states’ power to enforce or open borders.

Brettell and Hollified provide scholars at all levels well-crafted summaries of scholarship in these various disciplines.
