Summary

This timely book examines the efforts of contemporary Western states to control international migration. It reveals the new strategies and instruments of control that migrant-receiving states have devised at national and transnational levels to cope with new forms of migration that deviate fundamentally from classic, settlement-oriented immigration: illegal migration, mass asylum-seeking, circular migration, and organized human smuggling.
