This volume draws the reader into the complex and contradictory world of migration regulation and control, covering the wide range of different policy approaches that aim to control the entry and residence of non-EU citizens. Revealing the common framework, tendencies, and policy convergences brought about less by design than a common concern about migration’s impact on the future of the EU,Modes of Migration Regulation and Control in Europequestions the effectiveness of additional efforts in terms of their fiscal and societal costs.
