Summary:

This book draws the reader into the complex, often contradictory world of migration regulation. It covers the range of different policy approaches aiming to control migration in Europe - or, more precisely, the entry and residence of non EU citizens in EU countries. As demonstrated by the authors of each chapter, the day a common migration policy can exist for the lasting benefit of all the Continent's residents is still a long way off. Each country has its own highly idiosyncratic national policies. Policymakers get caught up in the trial-and-errors of increasingly intrusive and ineffective control measures. The framework of this ably edited volume, however, reveals that there are common tendencies and new policy convergences across the EU, and they are brought about less by design than by universal concerns. This could only mark the start to understanding the impact of migration and overcoming the challenges of integration.
