The Routledge Handbook of the Politics of Migration in Europe provides a rigorous and critical examination of what is exceptional about the European politics of migration and the study of it.
Crucially, this book goes beyond the study of the politics of migration in the handful of Western European countries to showcase a European approach to the study of migration politics, inclusive of tendencies in all geographical parts of Europe (including Eastern Europe, the Western Balkans, Turkey) and of influences of the European Union (EU) on countries in Europe and beyond. Each expert chapter reviews the state of the art field of studies on a given topic or question in Europe as a continent while highlighting any dimensions in scholarly debates that are uniquely European. Thematically organised, it permits analytically fruitful comparisons across various geographical entities within Europe and broadens the focus on European immigration politics and policies beyond the traditional limitations of Western European, immigrant-receiving societies.
The Routledge Handbook of the Politics of Migration in Europe will be essential reading and an authoritative reference for scholars, students, researchers and practitioners involved in, and actively concerned about, research on migration, and European and EU Politics.
"This intelligent and comprehensive collection offers a penetrating analysis of the ‘politics of migration’ in Europe, as the continent deals with its associated cultural, social, economic and IR consequences. The contributors here offer refreshing practical and normative insights to the management of this critical issue confronting contemporary societies, states, and the European Union." - Gallya Lahav, Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences, State University of New York at Stony Brook, USA.
"Historical traditions, geographical diversity and multilevel governance have long since eluded observers of European migration politics. This Handbook is a great resource for anyone interested in understanding the breadth and depth of developments at local, regional, national and supranational levels on issues ranging from migration and asylum to integration." - Maarten Vink, Professor of Political Science, Maastricht University, Netherlands.
"This Handbook offers a panoramic survey of the development, the achievements and the gaps of migration and refugee policies in Europe. The emergence of an EU competence in the matter is put in a historical perspective and scrutinized from various thematic, institutional and geographic angles. The result is not only a comprehensive up-to-date analysis of current policies but also a book that stimulates a deeper understanding of this complex field." - Sandra Lavenex, Professor of Political Science, University of Geneva, Switzerland.
"The handbook provides a comprehensive starting point for students and scholars interested in different aspects of migration and refugee politics in the European context."- Hanna Tuominen, University of Turku, Finland
