About the Book

This authoritative state-of-the-art reference collection maps the changing landscape of labour mobility. It explores the dialectic between state sovereignty and market-based logic, which is transforming the speed, scope and scale of trans-boundary migration for employment. Faced with the absence of a multilateral treaty and of a global architecture, governments today are turning to bilateral agreements as the preferred mode of migration governance to deal with the cross-border movement of capital and persons. Recently, private actors have challenged state regulations to increasingly bypass the complexities of their immigration laws and policies. This duality between immigration regulations and the market-based logic of trade agreements offers the opportunity to conduct a deep examination of the relationship between labour migration and the state-centred regime. This insightful collection offers a conceptual framework for the development of interdisciplinary approaches to the management of labour mobility - including transnationalism, economics, legal and social sciences. Eminent scholars from various disciplines and perspectives analyze labour mobility issues across the major countries of origin and destination over four continents, with an emphasis on theoretical reflection and empirical analysis. The Palgrave Handbook of International Labour Migration goes beyond the assumption that states are the only actors in the design and implementation of migratory policies. It maps the field, framing legal and political questions to address the main elements of labour mobility, including the limits and challenges of state action.

Review :
"This volume alerts us to cross-border labour movement in different regions in the world and highlights the legal and political factors that underpin socioeconomic dynamics in this domain." - Virginie Guiraudon, Sciences Po Paris, France "This Handbook is an outstanding contribution to the study of international labour migration. It combines a high degree of analysis with very good case studies of labour migration in different parts of the world. Regions often neglected are included and the political and human rights dimensions are well analyzed. It is an indispensible tool for scholars of migration." - Zig Layton-Henry, University of Warwick, UK "A global approach to migration ... at the heart of present questions." - Catherine de Wenden, Sciences Po Paris, France
