The Economist reminds us that the starting point of science is collecting [data]. Then, once the collection is large enough, patterns begin to emerge (Exoplanets 2017). This book is testament to the collection of datapatterns of state behavior on international migrationsufficiently large to begin to see patterns emerge. In the process, we taxed the comity of several colleagues who read meandering conference papers and draft articles, until we uncovered the patterns that we describe in this volume. Even then, we received extraordinarily useful comments on the first draft of this book so that our theoretical focus and presentation of empirical evidence are now more concise and coherently presented. In particular, we thank Gary Freeman, Audie Klotz, Jeroen Doomernik, and Eiko Thielemann, as well as two anonymous reviewers, who understood our goals and helped us better achieve them. We have benefited from the research of many scholars in our own discipline of political science as well as in economics, history, sociology, law, and demography, as the study of migration is multidisciplinary and insights from these fields are critical to understanding the politics of migration. Our debt is acknowledged in the extensive citations in the text. We cannot forget Randall Hansen and Jobst Koehler, who originally invited us to participate in a collaborative project on international cooperation on migration; without that initial invitation, our research agenda would have taken other paths. Other colleagues have provided moral support along what turned out to be a much longer road than anticipated, including Scott Gartner, Gabriella Montinola, Jo Andrews, Heather McKibben, and Shaina Western, among others. Finally, our families remained an arena of refuge throughout the process of research and writing. Although the remaining errors of commission and omission are ours, we offer our warmest thanks to those who supported us along the way.
