Entering the New Theological Space

This book examines and critiques the regulation of marriage migration into the UK. It analyses the problems posed for governments by marriage migration and provides a discussion of contemporary regulation. The book takes a contextual approach, placing the regulatory framework against the background of government concerns about immigration control, labour displacement, race, integration and the reproduction and continuation of alien norms of family life. It also takes account of new understandings of migration in terms of global movement and transnationalism. The importance of marriage in patterns of global migration is also highlighted.
