The old Cold War framework of security as related to war and peace, international relations and foreign affairs has given way to a multiplicity of competing notions, including internal security, human security and even social security. At the same time, migration has become a hotly contested issue, characterised by an enormous difference of views and objectives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSo what do we mean by security and migration in the contemporary world? How do these two important fields intersect? And what does this collision of policy concerns and public interests mean for states and individuals alike? In this cutting-edge book, Elspeth Guild seeks to answer these pressing questions, drawing on a wide range of recent examples from the impact of asylum seekers on state border security to identity security in citizenship rules to illustrate her arguments. By approaching the topic from the perspective of the individual – citizen of one state, migrant in another – the book examines key aspects of the security-migration nexus, such as the relationship with refugees; torture; extraordinary rendition; privacy and the retention of personal data; and human rights' protection.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first volume in Polity's new 'Dimensions of Security' series, this book is a must-read for all students of international politics, development studies and related fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements vi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Understanding security and migration in the twenty-first century 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Migration, citizenship and the state 29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Migration, expulsion and the state 47\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Armed conflict, flight and refugees 68\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Migration, torture and the complicit state 87\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Migration and data: documenting the non-national 108\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Economy and migration 132\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Foreigners, trafficking and globalization 155\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Sovereignty, security and borders 176\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 192\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography 199\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 211\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407311597848,"sku":"9780745644424","price":45.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745644424.jpg?v=1784160833","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/security-and-migration-in-the-21st-century-hardback-9780745644424","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
