This Handbook presents a comprehensive overview of the interaction between migration and development from a range of critical and counter-hegemonic perspectives. Exploring the strengths and weaknesses of existing practices connected with the migration and development nexus, contributing authors provide a clear understanding of their complex dynamics.
Divided into three thematic sections, the Handbook opens with a range of cutting-edge theoretical insights and methodologies that seek to establish the current state of the art. Following this, chapter authors use exploitation and dispossession as overarching concepts to frame key aspects of migration and development from a labour and class perspective. The Handbook then looks ahead, considering the opportunities and dilemmas illustrated by the various initiatives aimed at framing a multi-level governance regime for migration and development across the globe.
The Handbook on Migration and Development is an invaluable resource for students, academics and researchers in migration, development studies, sociology and social policy. Bringing together a wide range of underrepresented voices, this Handbook is also of benefit to policymakers working in international migration.

Critical Acclaim
‘This Handbook offers a vibrant plea for a counter-narrative to the longstanding debates surrounding migration and development. Although the flaws of the migration-development nexus are well documented, it has become the mantra of political discourses and the driving force of interstate cooperation alongside the Western agenda of border control. Gathering contributions from many key experts in the field, this edited volume gives a voice to a more critical stance and perspectives from the Global South. This alternative to the neoliberal narrative of the West is much needed.
This timely collection of essays offers a comprehensive and critical study of the complex and controversial intersections between migration and development. It constitutes a valuable resource for scholars, activists, practitioners and policymakers, who want to be up to date with the latest thinking and critical insights on a central concern of our times.’

‘Raúl Delgado Wise and his co-editors have put together a book that would rekindle the flame of reason that is lately losing its shine in the emerging dominant discourse on migration and development. It is a journey into an array of introspections by the stalwarts as well as new-generation scholars upholding the empathic flag of equality and justice over that of dreary growth and development. A must read for those aspiring to be the devil''s advocates in ongoing debates over the political economy of international migration, particularly in the realm of its policy and governance.’
