| Summary: | In Europe immigration is a politically burning issue, especially when it comes to the arrival of asylum seekers and illegal labour migrants. Governments want to keep them under control in order to limit their numbers. Yet, traditionally there were strong differences between European states in the extent to which they sought to do so and the instruments employed to that end. Currently, the contours become visible of a common approach towards - notably irregular - migration. This becomes clear from the country studies comprising this volume. Om migratie te beheersen, maakten overheden van verschillende Europese landen voorheen vooral gebruik van administratieve maatregelen. Tegenwoordig gaan ze in toenemende mate over tot het lenen van middelen uit het strafrecht. Ook fysieke interventies als muren, hekken en militaire opties zijn gemeengoed geworden. Niet duidelijk is of deze kostbare maatregelen effectief zijn. Modes of Migration Regulation and Control in Europe is een onderzoek naar deze ontwikkelingen. |
