The Ashgate Research Companion to Migration Law, Theory and Policy

This book aims to augment the Ashgate series by taking stock of the current state of migration law literature. It also aims to sketch out the contours of its future long-term development, in what is now by all accounts a vastly expanded research agenda.

'...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
