Migration Control in the North Atlantic World

The migration movements of the 20th century have led to an increased interest in similarly dramatic population changes in the preceding century. The contributors to this volume - legal scholars, sociologists, political scientists and historians - focus on migration control in the 19th century, concentrating on issues such as the impact of the French Revolution on the development of modern citizenship laws and on the development of new forms of migration control in France and other European states, and the interrelationship between the different administrative levels - local, regional and national - at which migration control was exercised.
