We are excited to announce that Why Immigration Policy is Hard: And How to Make it Better is now available in our collection.
In this indispensable resource, Alan Manning—former chair of the UK’s Migration Advisory Committee—moves beyond the simplistic “good vs. bad” rhetoric. He argues that while immigration is a necessity, creating fair rules requires navigating complex trade-offs between the economy, culture, justice, and democracy.
Why you should read it:
- Evidence-Based: Manning utilizes cutting-edge international research to move the debate forward.
- Holistic View: It covers the real-world impact of immigration on jobs, taxes, public services, and local communities.
- Practical Solutions: The book offers a roadmap for making better policy decisions in one of today’s most charged political environments.
Whether you are a student of European affairs or a researcher in public policy, this title is a must-read for an informed perspective on migration governance.
