{"product_id":"the-migration-question-leila-simona-talani-9780197835302","title":"The Migration Question: Politics, Economics and the Failure of Border Security","description":"This authoritative book proposes a fresh perspective on international migration, offering decisive answers to the big questions, and dismantling the main myths surrounding one of the most salient issues of today's global politics. Who are these migrants? Do they steal our jobs? \u003cbr\u003eCan we help them in their home countries? Do border controls improve security? Are open borders desirable? Leila Simona Talani and Matilde Rosina address these issues and more in their deeply researched study of migration into both Europe and the United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAssessing globalisation's impact on international migration, the authors find that it is virtually impossible to stop contemporary flows from the Global South to North. In this context, policies designed to control, limit or deter immigration simply transform some or all regular migrants into irregular ones--exacerbating insecurity for citizens of the receiving state, and criminalising the migrants. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough empirical research including original surveys and interviews, Talani and Rosina demonstrate conclusively that the only solution to this short-circuit world of securitisation and criminalisation is for the Global North to open its doors to the migrants already, inevitably, coming through--particularly since the evidence shows that regularising migration is a positive-sum game, in economic, social and security terms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leila Simona Talani, Matilde Rosina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197835309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197835302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 5.58w x 1.02d","brand":"Leila Simona Talani","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47202623652095,"sku":"9780197835302","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ffa422eb-e4ef-45ea-b4dc-0d7a7f9e6ac7.jpg?v=1756832910","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-migration-question-leila-simona-talani-9780197835302","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
