<div>This book explains how and why the New Labour governments transformed Britain’s immigration system from a highly restrictive regime to one of the most expansive in Europe, otherwise known as the Managed Migration policy. It offers the first in-depth and candid account of this period of dramatic political development from the actors who made policy during ‘the making of the migrant state.’</div><div><br/></div><div>Drawing on document analysis and over 50 elite interviews, the book sets out to explain how and why this radical policy change transpired, by examining how organized interests, political parties and institutions shaped and changed policy. This book offers valuable insights to anyone who wants to understand why immigration is dominating the political debate, and will be essential reading for those wanting to know why governments pursue expansive immigration regimes.</div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>

“This is an important book, which uses extensive elite interviews and other core pieces of evidence to interrogate the explanatory purchase of key theories on the vexed issue of immigration policy. It is illuminating and substantial.” (Nick Pearce, Director University of Bath Institute for Policy Research, UK) <p>“This outstanding book elucidates an important juncture in UK immigration policy: the shift to a more expansive, economically-oriented ‘Managed Migration’ policy under New Labour in the 2000s. In doing so, it offers not just a fascinating chronicle of Labour’s ambitious reform, but also contributes to wider theories of policy change. A timely reminder of how policy change is possible, and essential reading for both scholars and practitioners with an interest in immigration policy.” (Christina Boswell, Professor of Politics, University of Edinburgh, UK)</p> <p>“…by far the most exhaustive account of immigration policy under Labour based on interviews with the actors making such policy.” (Tim Bale, Professor of Politics, Queen Mary University of London, UK)</p>
