“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)
“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)
“…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)
