Adeptly navigating one of the most pressing issues on the current global agenda, this topical Research Handbook provides a comprehensive and research-based exploration of the sociology of migration. As well as highlighting the field's achievements and current challenges, it explores key concepts used in current research, methods employed, and the spheres and contexts in which migrants participate.



Presenting an open and pluralistic approach to international migration, this Research Handbook offers a wealth of conceptual analysis, featuring insightful contributions from over 40 leading scholars. Split into three thematic sections, it expertly examines a wide range of theoretical terms, research methods and techniques, and provides an in-depth analysis of the significant work that has been carried out to date in relation to migration. It ultimately sheds light on important discussions surrounding the origins of the sociology of migration, considering not only past events, but also future directions of research for this ever-evolving field of study.



Offering a unique and forward-thinking perspective, this authoritative Handbook will serve as a fundamental reference for students, scholars, and practitioners in the fields of sociology and social policy, development studies, and political science, as well as in the wider social sciences.

Industry Reviews
'This Research Handbook is an essential companion for advanced researchers and a compass for aspiring scholars. It embeds the most common concepts in the history of migration studies, informs about the use of different methods in migration research and connects to the empirical realities of migration societies. The book is an important, globally focused contribution to understanding contemporary debates about migration, a principal driver and consequence of transformation in modern societies.' -- Gianni D'Amato, University of Neuchatel, Switzerland
'Anyone wishing to understand the movement of populations in the modern world and the challenges of integration must start with a basic knowledge of the sociology of migration. The editors of this volume have brought together in a single work many of the leading scholars in the field to offer a comprehensive guide to key concepts, methods, space, and place-an invaluable resource for students and scholars alike.' -- James F. Hollifield, Southern Methodist University, US
'Sciortino, Cvajner, Kivisto and their chapter authors make valuable contributions to the scholarship on migration. They offer succinct histories of the field and its different thematic, epistemic, and methodological currents, and insightfully parse differences. The chapters also offer concise reviews, engagements, and extensions of a wide range of both well-trodden and emerging areas of work. Despite three decades in the field, I learned a lot from reading this Research Handbook, and strongly recommend it. It will be useful both to long-time scholars and for undergraduate classes.' -- Robert Courtney Smith, City University of New York, US
'Presenting 34 chapters written by leading international scholars in the field, the Research Handbook on the Sociology of Migration comprises a contemporary, integrated and comprehensive resource for scholars and students of sociology and other disciplines interested in migration issues. A highly accessible Research Handbook with an impressive diversity of themes all contributing to the constantly growing dynamic of this sociological subfield.' -- Pieter Bevelander, Malmoe University, Sweden
'The Research Handbook on the Sociology of Migration is a tour de force in international migration studies, moving away from a myopic view of migration by incorporating a plurality of theoretical, methodological and contextual perspectives. By developing a relational approach in which individuals, communities and societies interact with the boundary-crossing realities of our migratory world, editors Sciortino, Cvajner and Kivisto conceptualise migration in a truly global way. This is a book from which even seasoned scholars of migration will learn.' -- Elisabeth Jane Becker-Topkara, Heidelberg University, Germany
