Description:	We live in a paradoxical “Age of Migration” (Castles and Miller 2009) that is characterized by both unprecedented levels of migration and (perhaps not coincidentally) considerable public and political skepticism about migration and migrants. Globally, the number of people on the move is large and growing. According to the United Nations, the total number of international migrants in 2013 was 232 million. This constitutes 3.2 % of the world’s population, and if migrants constituted their own nation, it would be the fi fth largest. At the same time, public and political reactions against immigrants have grown across the global north. We live in a paradoxical “Age of Migration” (Castles and Miller 2009) that is characterized by both unprecedented levels of migration and (perhaps not coincidentally) considerable public and political skepticism about migration and migrants. Globally, the number of people on the move is large and growing. According to the United Nations, the total number of international migrants in 2013 was 232 million. 1 This constitutes 3.2 % of the world’s population, and if migrants constituted their own nation, it would be the fi fth largest. At the same time, public and political reactions against immigrants have grown across the global north. This volume therefore assembles an interdisciplinary group of scholars to better understand two dimensions of contemporary immigration policy—a growing enforcement and restriction regime in receiving nations and the subsequent effects on sending nations. It begins with three background chapters on immigration politics and policies in the United States, Europe, and Mexico. This is followed by 11 chapters about specifi c receiving and sending nations—four for the United States, three for Europe, and four for the sending nations of Mexico, Turkey, Peru, and Poland.
