It will be useful for researchers interested in the political and sociological impact of an increasingly mobile Europe." (Michael Johns, Journal of Common Market Studies, Vol. 54 (2), 2016)
"The new book . is aimed at both social scientists and non-technical readers interested in questions related to free movement in Europe, the related policies and experiences of European movers. The book can also provide a valuable reading to experts interested in a broader picture of a borderless Europe. In addition to an interesting description of policies and theories, historical developments and examples of experiences from people's lives, the book offers original analysis that is carefully interpreted and put into perspective." (Mariola Pytliková, European Journal of Population, Vol. 32, 2016)
