Full Description
This innovative Handbook provides essential insights into understanding the complexities of the rapidly developing field of migration and public policy. It assesses how policymakers at the local, regional, national and supranational level are defining their approaches in relation to the highly politicized nature of worldwide migration and integration.
Editors Maria Schiller and Peter Scholten bring together global experts in public policy, governance, and political science to examine the challenges facing policymakers. They explore the interrelationship between international and national migration policy and politics, the variations in policies when considering different types of migration, and the diverse actors and dynamics in migration policymaking. The Handbook concludes with a reflective section on the field's development and its significance for public policy studies.
This Handbook is a vital reference for scholars and researchers in the fields of public policy and governance, political science, and migration and integration studies. Policymakers and practitioners from NGOs and international organizations, will also benefit from this Handbook's theoretical and practical insights.
