Reviews
'This volume is as extraordinary in quality as its subject is in importance. The editors and contributors successfully penetrate the fog of sensationalism, expediency and superficial official and media discourses on societal security and the presence of foreigners in Europe...This is an indispensable work for all concerned with the glib and often pernicious securitization of migration and with the palpable tensions between security discourses and civil liberties and human rights in Europe.' Martin O. Heisler, University of Maryland, USA '...an important contribution to the growing literature exploring how the project of European unification is re-shaping the landscape of movement control as it re-shapes Europe itself. Valuable reading for the specialist and non-specialist alike.' John Torpey, City University of New York Graduate Center, USA 'This book is multi-disciplinary, as it contains contributions from law, politics and international relations scholars...[it is] a very stimulating book which will attract the interest of a large audience. It contributes to a wide range of intellectual debates, notably on free movement, migration, deterritorialization, the control of frontiers, globalization, inequalities exclusion and domination.'
