'The enormous practical, legal and theoretical significance of cross-national migration points, in short, to a need for more sustained academic attention to the subject among international law scholars. The newly published Migration and International Legal Norms represents a valuable contribution to the literature in this context ... the volume's purpose ... is to provide 'a concise guide to international legal norms and standards in the field of migration and it fulfills this purpose admirably. It might best be described as a comprehensive reference handbook on the international law of migration in its various dimensions. There is no other resource in the field that is as thorough or as authoritative.' Linda Bosniak, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, School of Law, Camden
