"Irregular Migration" is a topical book, analyzing the fundamental tensions at the core of present attempts to manage the movement of population in today's world. Recent events around the globe have prompted a reappraisal of the emerging consensus on migration control. Business demands free movement while nations fear unregulated population flows. The replacement of immigration control with migration management is the aim of First World governments as irregular migration challenges states' attempts to find a balance between recruitement of labour, humanitarian protection and national security. This book provides a theoretical framework for the analysis of mobility and border crossings in an age of globalization. It draws upon the author's pioneering research on people working in the UK without proper immigration status, the organizations that support immigrants, and the responses of control agencies and public services. Losers in the global economy, who vote with their feet as economic migrants, are making a claim to justice as well as trying to improve their standards of living.The book concludes with an evaluation of the justification for border controls, and of the prospects for migration regimes under conditions of growing inequality.

Review

'Bill Jordan's and Franck Duvell's book is a welcome intervention. It is the first serious volume on this topic in the UK. It is original and timely, provocative and concerned.' -- Khalid Koser, Progress in Human Geography'. . . the whole book is very interesting. . . it is also a grave and comprehensive input into the British and European public debate on the principles of migration policy.' -- Izabella Korys, Geographia Polonica'. . . an interesting piece of empirical research whose findings offer the reader a theoretical discussion of some of the principles of political democracy and justice, but also of the moral dilemmas associated with the plight of irregular migrants, the losers of the global economy.' -- Antonio MartIn Artiles, Transfer'Europe's governments are stepping up their fight against irregular migration. Jordan and Duvell challenge this agenda. They provide empirical evidence for the complexity of the phenomenon and new theoretical perspectives on the political and moral dilemmas of immigration control. This is an important contribution that ought to be read not only by social scientists. If policymakers had time to read books I would recommend this one.' -- Rainer Baubock, Austrian Academy of Science, Austria
