'Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above.' Choice 'Encyclopaedic, up-to-the-minute and with an enlarged range of themes and geographical coverage, this unique reference text is a must-have for any serious student of contemporary migration. Particularly valuable are its new perspectives on European enlargement, the evolution of a European migration policy and the impact of the financial crisis, as well as its useful synthesis of distinct migration pathways.'

This comprehensively updated second edition will be just as useful for students who freshly enter the field of migration studies as for specialists who need to broaden their knowledge.'

The result is that in just about every country study - including those I know well - I discovered new insights and information.'
