Abstract
Can politicians effectively control national borders even if they wish to do so? How do politically powerless migrants relate to more privileged migrants and to national citizens? Is it possible for capital to move to labour rather than vice versa? And could trade substitute for migration? In this book Robin Cohen shows how the preferences, interests and actions of the three major social actors in international migration policy global capital, migrant labour and national politicians intersect and often contradict each other. In pre-press publicity, Donna R. Gabaccia (University of Minnesota) writes ‘Migration and its enemies delivers all we have come to expect over the years from Robin Cohen. It is hard to imagine the potential reader who could finish this book without having at least one cherished assumption fundamentally challenged.’
