REVIEWS"This is a carefully considered report on something that is difficult to know much about. Addressing concerns now at the centre of the EU, it reflects on the political, administrative and statistical processes surrounding irregular labour migration in a country that up until recently had 1,400 kilometres of Schengen border."
August Gächter, Senior Researcher, Centre for Social Innovation, Vienna, and Reader, University of Vienna
“Challenging the perceived capacity of states to regulate migration, this refreshing empirical study has the potential to instigate a fundamental reappraisal of irregular migrant work in Europe. A must-read for everybody concerned – academically or politically, in Austria and beyond.”
Norbert Cyrus, Senior Researcher, Hamburg Institute for Social Research
'This volume fills a significant gap in the still fragmented landscape of research on irregular (labour) immigrants in Europe. It is based on a mixture of methods, is very rich in data and contributes an overdue case study. But the authors go much further than this and make an important contribution to the analyses and theories in this field. Some aspects are indeed innovative. This book should be recommended reading by scholars of labour market, irregular economy and migration issues and of course policy makers.'
