How do immigration and refugee laws work 'in action' in Russia? This book offers a complex, empirical and nuanced understanding.

The harmonization of the different European legal systems has reached the field of asylum and immigration policy. The Maastricht Treaty has established the legal basis for a common migration policy. Numerous resolutions, recommendations, joint positions and actions were adopted by the EU Council based on the `third pillar' in the Maastricht Treaty. Within the `first pillar' the European Community has enacted regulations on visa policy based on Art. 100c EC - Treaty. Additionally, several agreements with third countries on immigration issues were set into force. Immigration and Asylum Law and Policy of the European Union comprehensively describes the present state of the harmonization process concerning migration policy in the European Union. Particular emphasis is laid on the legal status of third-country nationals with regard to entry and residence. Furthermore, the gaps within EU regulations are evaluated in an attempt to search for a homogenous European migration policy.

This detailed course book of immigration and refugee law and policies in the United States mixes theory, policy, and politics with practice-oriented material. After an overview of US immigration law, an introduction to the basic terms and concepts, and a quick outline of the historical roots of the modern US immigration policy, the book grapples the immigration debate. Among the aspects considered in this context are the moral dimensions of immigration control, the relationship between immigration policy and multiculturalism, and the economic impact of immigration. The book then moves on to look at the sources of, and limits to, the federal immigration power, and immigration priorities in forms of quotas and preferences. A separate chapter focuses on non-immigrant priorities, that is, persons admitted for specific purposes such as study, business or pleasure. The course book continues with an overview of the inadmissibility or exclusion grounds, the admission procedure and deportability grounds. Possible factors for relief from deportability are examined in the following chapter, while a separate section takes a look at the deportation procedure. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 had far-reaching implications for immigration law and these consequences are synthesized in the chapter focusing on immigration and national security. The US handling of the refugee question receives a thorough survey; this is followed by a chapter on undocumented migrants. A chapter on citizenship concludes the course book that also includes extra materials such as simulation exercises and notes and questions.
