Book Description
The Ashgate Research Companion to Migration Law, Theory and Policy complements the already successful Ashgate series Law & Migration, established in 2006 which now has a number of well-regarded monographs to its credit. The purpose of this Companion is to augment that Series, by taking stock of the current state of literature on migration law, theory and policy, and to sketch out the contours of its future long-term development, in what is now a vastly expanded research agenda. The Companion provides readers with a definitive and dependable state-of-art review of current research in each of the chosen areas that is all-embracing and all-inclusive of its subject-matter. The chapters focus on the regional and the sub-regional, as well as the national and the global. In so doing, they aim to give a snap-shot that is contextual, coherent, and comprehensive. The contributors are both world-renowned scholars and newer voices and include scholars, practitioners, former judges and researchers and policy-makers who are currently working for international organisations.
Editorial Reviews
Review
‘…provides the reader with a comprehensive review of current research spanning the national, the supranational, the global, regional and local. The chapters provide fresh and insightful analysis of applicable law, theory, policy and practice. In doing so, the contributions identify practical challenges and solutions for change and identify lacunae in the existing research, setting an agenda for future enquiry.’ Asian and Pacific Migration Journal ’…this book ranges far and wide… has much to offer.’ International Journal of Refugee Law
