The second edition of The Routledge Handbook of the Politics of Migration in Europe provides a rigorous, provocative, and critical examination of what is exceptional about the European politics of migration and the study of it. Crucially, this book adopts a pan-European perspective to better explain the regional shades of European migration politics, inclusive of tendencies in all geographical parts of Europe. The volume accounts for recent developments that affect human mobility in Europe, including the significant number of asylum seekers from non-EU and non-European countries in 2014–2016, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Brexit, and the Russian war on Ukraine. Thematically organized, this book provides analytically fruitful comparisons across various geographical entities within Europe. The Routledge Handbook of the Politics of Migration in Europe will be essential reading and an authoritative reference for scholars, students, researchers, and practitioners involved in, and actively concerned about, research and policy on migration, and European and EU Politics.
Contrary to predictions that it would become increasingly redundant in a globalizing world, citizenship is back with a vengeance. The Oxford Handbook of Citizenship brings together leading experts in law, philosophy, political science, economics, sociology, and geography to provide a multidisciplinary, comparative discussion of different dimensions of citizenship: as legal status and political membership; as rights and obligations; as identity and belonging; as civic virtues and practices of engagement; and as a discourse of political and social equality or responsibility for a common good. The contributors engage with some of the oldest normative and substantive quandaries in the literature...
How 'free' is the free movement of persons? This collection of essays reconsiders the fundamentals of EU free movement law. Through different examples - posted workers, social security, Brexit, and Union citizenship - each chapter revisits the categories, and the resulting boundaries, that have become entrenched in these laws.
In the global era, controversies abound over temporary labour migration; however, it has not previously been subjected to a sustained socio-legal analysis on a comparative basis, critiquing the underpinning concepts conventionally accepted as fundamental in this area. This collection of essays aims to fill that void. Complex regulatory challenges arise from temporary labour migration. This collection examines these challenges and the extent to which temporary labour migration programmes can be ethical, equitable and efficacious and so deliver decent work for workers. Whilst the tendency for migration law to divide labour law's worker-protective mission has been observed before, the authors of the chapters comprising this collection seek not only to interrogate why and how this is so, but to go further in examining the implications and effects of a wide range of regulatory mechanisms on temporary labour migration.

Many low-income countries and development organizations are calling for greater liberalization of labor immigration policies in high-income countries. At the same time, human rights organizations and migrant rights advocates demand more equal rights for migrant workers. The Price of Rights shows why you cannot always have both. Examining labor immigration policies in over forty countries, as well as policy drivers in major migrant-receiving and migrant-sending states, Martin Ruhs finds that there are trade-offs in the policies of high-income countries between openness to admitting migrant workers and some of the rights granted to migrants after admission. Insisting on greater equality of rig...
