T he rationale for this book originated from two programmes of research and seminars on labour migration organised by Policy Network in 20089, with the generous support of the Barrow Cadbury Trust. The programmes brought together scholars, policy-makers and other stakeholders from across Europe to discuss the economic impacts of immigration and consider the changes needed to the immigration policies of individual European countries in order to maximise the benefits of immigration and minimise its costs. However, the seminars organised in the context of this research programme quickly brought to light the limitations of this traditional approach. In particular, it became evident that, if immigration was to have winwin results for immigrant and non-immigrant populations alike, changes would be necessary not only to European immigration policies, but also to some of Europes most cherished labour-market and welfare institutions.
We would like to extend our warmest thanks to Sara Llewellin, Chief Executive, and Ayesha Saran, Programme Manager, at the Barrow Cadbury Trust whose sponsorship and intellectual support made the seminar series possible. We are also grateful to the wonderful team at Policy Network who helped to make the seminars a success and contributed at various stages to the preparation of the book. In this context, we would like to mention Annie Bruzzone and Arjun Singh-Muchelle whose enthusiasm and interest in the migration conundrum helped us to refine the ideas which run through this book. Anita Hurrell, Nabeelah Jaffer and in particular Michael McTernan were instrumental in the editing and production process and we thank them for the diligence and professionalism with which they carried out these tasks.
Last but not least, we are indebted to Olaf Cramme, Roger Liddle and Patrick Diamond for their continuous support and for creating the stimulating intellectual environment upon which Policy Network continues to thrive.
