This book is indeed as enlightening as it is critical and it touches upon a most timely subject. -- Keina Espi�eira, Universitat Aut�noma de Barcelona, Spain in Journal of Borderlands Studies, 30:1, 2015. [-] [-]"A very well-organised study, compact and consistent, its structure being presided over by a Cartesian spirit. Garces-Mascare�as makes valuable contributions to understanding both her selected case studies and the greater literature on labor migration and migration regimes.� --Joaqu�n Arango, Professor of Sociology, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain[-][-] [-]"This truly comparative book will become a standard work in the field. It opens new research venues, with major implications for a state migration control theory that has too long been Atlanto-centred.� -- Leo Lucassen, Professor of Social History, Leiden University, The Netherlands[-][-] [-]"An admirable -- and convention-challenging -- command of the empirical complexities that went into the making of immigration policies and practices in two very divergent states faced with a similar demand for foreign labour." -- Diana Wong, Independent Researcher[-][-] [-]"What does it mean to control immigration? That is the fundamental question posed in this intriguing[-] comparative study, which breaks new theoretical ground. The Spanish and Malaysian states are caught[-] on the horns of a familiar dilemma: how to satisfy the needs of the marketplace without compromising[-] the social contract. Anyone concerned with the dilemmas of immigration control must read this book.�[-] -- James F. Hollifield, Director, Tower Center of Political Studies, Southern Methodist University
