Reviews

'In this book, Dauvergne critically rethinks the relationship between territorial sovereignty, international trade and human rights, arguing that the comfortable distinction between 'us and them' should be rejected in our fast-paced world.' Francois Crepeau, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Migrants, and Oppenheimer Professor in Public International Law, McGill University, Montreal 'If we are to break free from international policy paralysis in the face of mass migration, we need a new narrative of belonging and mobility. In this book, Catherine Dauvergne lays out a series of avenues for further intellectual, legal and popular investigation, while mindful of the barriers such endeavours are likely to face.' Mary Bosworth, University of Oxford 'Given the front page stories around the world about migration, this book couldn't come at a better time.' R. A. Harper, Choice
