Description
Combining migration and development policy research, it examines policies and practices on both an international and domestic level. Chapters cover major trends in crisis management and long-term impacts funding between 1985 and 2020, outlining a clear tendency for the EU to bring together ideas, identities and knowledge with self-interest and strategic action. The author introduces two novel concepts: leveraged statecraft and migration statecraft, which amalgamate theoretical traditions in order to construct recognition and partnerships. Case studies analysed in this book include the African, Caribbean and Pacific group of states; the African Union; the European Neighbourhood; the Rabat, Budapest, and Prague processes; and bilateral mobility partnerships.
Balancing theory and practice, this is an indispensable read for scholars of European politics and policy, international relations, international political economy, migration, and development studies. It is also highly beneficial to policymakers in the EU as well as external cooperation specialists.

Reviews
'This book extends a highly valuable and much needed analysis of two rationales that need to be combined within the school of International Relations: classical realism and constructivism. Through the concept "leveraged statecraft" in EU context, the author seeks to bridge two contradictory objectives: how to contain irregular migration and promote poverty reduction at the same time?' -- Grete Brochmann, University of Oslo, Norway
'In this highly original book, Tamas succeeds in explaining the evolution of migration statecraft in the European Union, focusing on the nexus between migration control and development. Now more than ever states are compelled to cooperate to manage migration and Tamas shows us how and why Europe is at the forefront of migration governance-a must read for scholars and policymakers alike.' -- James F. Hollifield, Southern Methodist University, US
