Opis

This authoritative textbook analyses the patterns of migration and mobility in Europe and offers an insight into policy dilemmas and institutional responses to this diverse, fluid and fast-changing policy area. It is hard to overestimate the significance of migration in Europe as a result of the sustained refugee crisis. The authors advance an original account of the increasing politicisation of migration and documents shifts in public opinion that do not always reflect reality. After all, only 4% of the European Union's population is on the move, and 7.5% are foreign-born. And yet it is an issue that destabilises regions and domestic governments. Comprehensively updated throughout, and now featuring over 100 in-depth interviews with policy makers as well as a new chapter on student migration, this book is the definitive guide to the politics of migration and mobility in Europe. It is the ideal companion for undergraduate and postgraduate students who are studying the European Union or Migration as part of degrees in Politics, European Union Studies, Area Studies, and further afield. It is also an essential resource for all those studying or practicing EU policy-making and communication. New for this edition A fully revised and updated text in light of the sustained refugee crisis in Europe; incorporates extensive coverage of changing public attitudes towards migration and the assumptions of policymakers Uses evidence from 100 in-depth interviews with policy makers A new chapter on student migration Includes more data on public opinion and migration in a series of new tables and figures Accompanied by a new companion website
