Review (PDF) Research Handbook On International Law And Migration (Research Handbooks In International Law Series) (Elgar Original Reference)
Migration is a complex and multifaceted issue, and the current legal framework suffers from considerable ambiguity and lack of cohesive focus. This Handbook offers a comprehensive take on the intersection of law and migration studies and provides strategies for better understanding the potential of international legal norms in regulating migration. Authoritative analyses by the most renowned and knowledgeable experts in the field focus on important migration issues and challenge the current normative framework with new ways of thinking about the topic.The book examines the many facets of migration from an international law perspective. Topics discussed include the relationship between migration and state sovereignty, the human rights of migrants, human trafficking, migrant workers, refugees and internal displacement. The expert contributors hail from a number of diverse international law backgrounds (including refugee law, human rights law, humanitarian law, labour law, WTO law and others), allowing them to synthesize many different perspectives and present a comprehensive, cohesive and timely study of a complicated and fractured topic.The Research Handbook on International Law and Migration provides a critical examination of migration and international law, identifying the issues still to be tackled and suggesting further developments to be made. It will appeal to advanced and postgraduate students, academics and policymakers.Contributors: T.A. Aleinikoff, I. Atak, H. Battjes, V. Chetail, R. Cohen, F. Crépeau, C. Dauvergne, M.

OF MIGRATION EXHAUSTIVELY RESEARCHEDAn appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green ChambersVincent Chetail and Celine Bauloz from the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Switzerland have produced a well-needed critical examination of migration and international law at a time when the issue is climbing to the top of the political agenda.Recently published by Edward Elgar, the book examines the topic from the perspective of international law, no simple task here, as the issue of migration involves a number of facets encompassing both civil and criminal matters, from human rights of migrants to state sovereignty, to human trafficking, refugees and displacement.This book, offers an outstanding collection of learned essays from over thirty expert contributors -- including the editors -- from top universities, government bodies and institutions worldwide. Together they present a selection of current research on key issues pertaining to migration, namely law, theory and policy, with a view to offering a range of perspectives on this continually expanding area of law that has attracted the interest, certainly of scholars and policy-makers as well as practitioners. As co-editor Chetail mentions in the introduction, `migration has become one of the highest priorities on the international agenda.'The book is divided logically into five parts. Part I focuses on state sovereignty in times of globalization, covering -- among other issues -- security, terrorism smuggling and trafficking of human beings. Part II examines such issues as detention of migrants, diplomatic protection and consular assistance of migrants, plus citizenship, nationality and statelessness.
