"This excellent collection offers an insightful and authoritative overview of the key issues in the politics of migration in Europe—from notions of membership and belonging to migration governance; from labour migration to forced displacement; from border control to pan-European cooperation. A particular strength is its coverage of dynamics and interconnections across all 51 European countries, teasing out some of the distinctive aspects of political discourse and governance across this large and diverse group of countries. It is a must-read for all scholars of migration policy and politics."
