Rezensionen

International Migration and Citizenship Today is concrete, engaging, and accessible. It provides an excellent introduction to the issues raised by migration.
- Joseph H. Carens, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, University of Toronto

A thoughtful and thought-provoking guide to immigration issues in liberal democracies. The book doesn't shy away from the uncomfortable or contradictory impulses surrounding admissions policies, integration, or economic and political impacts but points to the importance of a civil debate based on solid information and values. Steiner equips the reader to take part in that very consequential debate.
- Kathleen Newland, Co-founder and Senior Fellow, Migration Policy Institute

This timely book clearly articulates the central paradox of the migration debate in liberal democracies-how to control potentially disruptive migration flows while still upholding the central tenets of liberalism. The book brings nuanced and insightful perspectives to this question that has made migration a defining issue in the twenty-first century. Scholars, practitioners, and policymakers will find the approaches offered in this book thoughtful, engaging, and compelling.
- Bonny Ibhawoh, Senator William McMaster Chair in Global Human Rights, McMaster University, and Expert-Rapporteur, UN Expert Mechanism on the Right to Development

Steiner's freshly updated textbook will confront you with many astonishing facts and figures-and equip you with a much-needed nuanced and thought-provoking perspective on migration. Steiner's excellent book offers an indispensable resource for academics, students, politicians, practitioners, policy-makers, and ordinary citizens alike; preparing readers to more effectively respond to one of the most vexing and most pressing issue of our time. - Adrian Vatter, Professor of Political Science, University of Bern, Switzerland

Steiner has produced the ideal textbook for classes that deal with the assortment of migration issues now facing Western democracies, as well as those that will come. The book is extraordinarily comprehensive in terms of its comparative analysis of how states have responded to the ever increasing levels of international migration. However, perhaps its greatest strength is the way it pushes and prods the reader by raising issues that will challenge those on both the political left and right. Quite simply, this is a wonderful achievement.
- Mark Gibney, Belk Distinguished Professor of Humanities and Professor of Political Science, University of North Carolina at Asheville
