‘This excellent book compares policies from lower levels of government in the three immigration countries of Australia, Canada, and the United States, helping us learn not only about how migration governance differs across the world, but also within countries. It uses novel instruments to clarify the structural role of intermediaries in shaping labour outcomes and to articulate how governance can harness their functions while constraining abuses. These unique approaches help shift the debate on migration governance to focus on lower levels of government which are key regulators of movement in polities characterised by multi-level governance.’
