Summary
The Routledge Handbook of Immigration and Refugee Studies offers a comprehensive and unique study of the multi-disciplinary field of international migration and asylum studies. Utilising contemporary information and analysis, this innovative Handbook provides an in depth examination of legal migration management in the labour market and its affect upon families in relation to wider issues of migrant integration and citizenship.
With a comprehensive collection of essays written by leading contributors from a broad range of disciplines including sociology of migration, human geography, legal studies, political sciences and economics, the Handbook is a truly multi-disciplinary book approaching the critical questions of:
- Migration and the labour market
- Integration and citizenship
- Migration, families and welfare
- Irregular migration
- smuggling and trafficking in human beings
- asylum and forced migration.
Organised into short thematic and geographical chapters the
Routledge Handbook of Immigration and Refugee Studies provides a concise overview on the different topics and world regions, as well as useful guidance for both the starting and the more experienced reader. The
Handbook’s expansive content and illustrative style will appeal to both students and professionals studying in the field of migration and international organisations.
