Summary:

A major examination of the interplay between migration and foreign policy in the Middle East, this study analyses the ways through which key Arab and non-Arab states instrumentalised cross-border mobility from the mid-1950s until today. Migration diplomacy paints a complex picture of how migrants, refugees, and diasporas have been subject to power politics considerations across the Global South.
