This open access book explores the laws and policies that determine whether migrants are lawfully or unlawfully present in a country, and how that status might change.

Drawing on data on irregular migrant populations, taken from interviews and focus groups with key stakeholders, it provides an expert overview of how this complex, multi-dimensional challenge is addressed by key European states. The collection takes a multi-disciplinary approach, so that not only lawyers but policymakers will welcome this as an essential read.
