About this ebook
This volume widens that lens, moving beyond Western Europe and the United States to situate migration governance within longer imperial, postcolonial, and international political-economic trajectories. The book proposes new typologies including imperial migration states, developmental migration states, and immigration rentier states, demonstrating how different configurations of state institutions, political regimes, and development strategies shape migration governance across liberal democracies and autocracies.
Bringing together leading scholars working across Asia, North Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and North America, the book examines countries of origin, destination, and transit through archival and ethnographic research, in-depth case studies, and comparative analyses. It will be of great interest for researchers, policymakers, and students in migration studies, political science, international relations, sociology, and development studies. The essays in this volume were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
