Economic migration has been rediscovered by governments across Europe. Highly skilled migrants are actively solicited, irregular migrants are being offered amnesties, and East-West migration is welcomed by business and employer associations. However, this is a highly politicized and contested policy domain.
This timely collection of cutting-edge research explores and examines the new realities of economic immigration to Europe. The thematic focus rests on new trends and developments, including the rediscovery of economic migration, factors explaining the focus on highly skilled migration, legalization measures, irregular migration, East-West flows, the role of employers and business groups, new positions amongst trade unions, outsourcing of control functions, and service sector liberalization and its implications.
Review: 'The volume is a must for all scholars of migration. It answers many questions and it poses new ones. And this adds to its value, because it shows that political economy of labour migration is a field whose depth and width we just begin to grasp.' - Romana Careja, University of Cologne 'Overall the book comprehensively weds comparative political economy and migration studies from a range of different angles and empirical grounds, and duly ends the often silent co-existence of an 'age of migration' (Castles and Miller, 2009) and an age of economic globalization.
As such, it is highly recommended for migration experts and political economy scholars alike.' - Regine Paul, Social and Policy Sciences, University of Bath, Journal of European Social Policy
