"Alexander Betts is one of a handful of scholars who have mastered the complex field of Global Migration Governance. This large and impressive volume covers the topic from every conceivable angle, and it gets the difficult mix of empirical analysis and policy recommendation right. As the global conversation about migration governance continues over the coming years, this work will remain the standard reference."--Randall Hansen, Research Chair in Political Science, University of Toronto

"An invaluable contribution to migration research and studies of global governance more broadly. Drawing on useful concepts derived from International Relations, the excellent contributions draw a picture of a multilayered, fragmented and yet quite encompassing set of formal and informal governance arrangements that mirror the diversity of challenges associated with global population flows."--Sandra Lavenex, Professor of International Politics, University of Lucerne

"Betts's careful editorial work and insightful analysis allow for a truly comprehensive discussion of global migration governance ... This volume is essential reading for scholars and students of migration as well as practitioners. It is a necessary reference point for future studies and policy debates about a realistic global governance framework that effectively and humanely protects and promotes the rights of all migrants."--International Migration Review
