Preface
This book was launched in 1990 at the Center for US-Mexican Studies at the Uni-
versity of California at San Diego (UCSD) as part of a National Science Founda-
tion research project, under the direction of Wayne A. Cornelius, Philip L. Martin,
and James F. Hollifield, comparing national efforts to manage migration. National
studies of migration data and control systems that grew out of the NSF project were
first published in 1994 by Stanford University Press; a second edition of the book ap-
peared in 2004, and a third in 2014. This fourth edition continues the effort to use
systematic, cross-national research to examine the gap between the goals and out-
comes of immigration policies in major immigrant-receiving countries. A generation
of scholars and students has wrestled with this question, which continues to drive
research agendas in the multidisciplinary field of migration studies. We hope that the
fourth edition will shed new light on the dilemmas of immigration control and help
to advance the comparative study of immigration policy.
The fourth edition is divided into five parts, including (1) an introduction that
gives an overview of the dilemmas of immigration control, followed by studies of
(2) nations of immigrants in which immigration is part of the founding national
ideal, (3) countries of immigration where immigration plays an important role in
social and economic development but was not part of the process of nation-building,
(4) latecomers to immigration—countries that once sent migrants abroad but in the
past few decades made the transition from sending to receiving societies— including
a new chapter on Greece and Turkey, and (5) the European Union and regional
