Reviews

'We believe that this Handbook will significantly contribute to supporting and clarifying the ongoing debate on migration as Europe moves forward with the establishment of a common migration policy, based on co-operation and partnership with migrant source countries, equitable protection and treatment of third-country nationals, and best practices in migration management. We also believe that the Handbook will contribute to a better overall understanding of the migration challenges at hand, and the gradual development of a 'common language in migration' among those who, from often differing perspectives, deal with the matter in sending, transit and receiving countries.' (From the Preface by Dr. Rolf Jenny, Director of the Geneva-based International Migration Policy Programme (IMP))
