Book review: Europe’s migrant policies: illusions of integration

Recent years have seen an increasing polarization of views on the EU, with many now debating its relevance in contemporary European politics. Europe’s Migrant Policies: Illusions of Integration examines the role and effectiveness of the EU in developing common migrant integration policies across Europe since the 1990s. Ruben Zaiotti welcomes the book’s contribution to debate about the EU’s role through rich empirical case studies. Its findings are also a cautionary tale for those who believe in the inevitability of European integration.
