Pressezitat
"Understanding the present and future of global migration governance requires a thorough engagement with the IOM. ... Geiger and Pécoud's volume is an important contribution towards redressing that gap. It offers readers a critical and thought-provoking analysis of the neo-liberal, technocratic and depoliticizing logics that underlie the IOM's discourse and practice. ... this volume is an important resource for scholars interested in the current transformations of migration management and their potential implications at global, regional and local levels." (João Terrenas, International Affairs, Vol. 97 (3), 2021)
