“When I open the pages of this Handbook, I find many an entry challenging established
wisdom and asking new questions in the field of migration and development. I trust that
it will come to be an indispensable source of inspiration for focusing crucial debates and
sharpening existing research in this vital area of scholarship.”
– Thomas Faist, Professor of Sociology of Transnationalization,
Migration and Development, University of Bielefeld, Germany
“This volume includes contributions from leading scholars working at the interface of
migration and development. The emphasis on inequality and on migration ‘corridors’ in
the Global South offers new insights into the complexity of these relationships and the
need to situate migration within wider economic, political and social processes.”
– Heaven Crawley, Director, UKRI GCRF South-South Migration,
Inequality and Development Hub, Coventry University, UK

ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF
MIGRATION AND DEVELOPMENT
The Routledge Handbook of Migration and Development provides an interdisciplinary, agenda-
setting survey of the fields of migration and development, bringing together over 60 expert
contributors from around the world to chart current and future trends in research on this
topic.
The links between migration and development can be traced back to the post-war
period, if not further, yet it is only in the last 20 years that the ‘migration–development
nexus’ has risen to prominence for academics and policymakers. Starting by mapping the
different theoretical approaches to migration and development, this book goes on to present
cutting edge research in poverty and inequality, displacement, climate change, health,
family, social policy, interventions, and the key challenges surrounding migration and devel-
opment. While much of the migration literature continues to be dominated by US and Brit-
ish perspectives, this volume includes original contributions from most regions of the world
to offer alternative non-Anglophone perspectives.
Given the increasing importance of migration in both international development and cur-
rent affairs, the Routledge Handbook of Migration and Development will be of interest both to
policymakers and to students and researchers of geography, development studies, political
science, sociology, demography, and development economics.
