Controlling Immigration

Reviews / Votes

"The third edition of Controlling Immigration: A Global Perspective is the best so far. Managing migration is one of the major challenges of the 21st century. Under the able guidance of editors Hollifield, Orrenius, and Martin, the volume provides excellent comparative perspective on immigration policies in both emerging and traditional countries of immigration. A must read for academics and policymakers alike."-Susan Martin, Donald G. Herzberg Professor of International Migration, Georgetown University "By now a classic among the key texts on international migration, this third edition of Controlling Immigration: A Global Perspective continues to provide the best comparative account of states' efforts to manage cross-border migration and their limited effectiveness in doing so."-Eiko Thielemann, Department of Government and the European Institute, London School of Economics and Political Science "Controlling Immigration is the gold standard for comparative studies of modern trends in immigrant-receiving nations. Its contributors form a stellar interdisciplinary roster of leading immigration scholars. Its core arguments-that immigration policies are converging globally, but also failing to achieve their goals-are vital for understanding contemporary politics in many lands."-Rogers M. Smith, Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Political Science, University of Pennsylvania
