A contribution to one of the most hotly contested issues in Europe, The migration debate provides a well-balanced, critical analysis of UK migration policies, in a European context, from entry controls through to integration and citizenship. Exploring the pressures and constraints that have shaped a rapidly shifting policy terrain, this accessible overview offers a considered assessment of policy options to provide the foundation for a less polarised, better-informed public debate. Unusual in its coverage of immigration for work, study, family and protection, and in its insistence that an understanding of integration processes must be considered alongside analysis of entry controls, The migration debate will be of equal value to policy makers as to a multi-disciplinary academic readership.

"Sarah Spencer, a pre-eminent analyst and observer of UK immigration, has written another well-reasoned, dispassionate, carefully documented and, above all, thoughtful, analysis and critique of recent and current immigration policy and political debates. The choice of topics, relative brevity, and clear prose make this a must-read publication on this politically difficult topic." Demetrios G. Papademetriou, President, Migration Policy Institute
