Recenzje

This book is a must-read for scholars and practitioners struggling to make sense of the 'triple-win' migration and development discourse. It offers a transnational multi-sectoral approach to thinking afresh about the roles of states, markets, the third sector, and social networks and families in securing migrant rights and protections in a world fragmented by the power of economic nationalism.
