Publications

The IMISCOE Short Readers are the absolute Open Access Companion to both undergraduate and graduate students and scholars working in the wider field of international migration. Readers offer a concise introduction to important topics, reviewing the relevant theories, using case studies to highlight their application and advising on further readings.

IMISCOE and SPRINGER are launching a new series of Regional Readers. These Regional Readers provide state of the art research on international migration in different world regions less studied in an Anglophone setting. Regional Readers are edited volumes bringing together international scholars from around the world. The first Regional Readers are expected to be published late 2021/early 2022.

While manuscripts on several regions have been commissioned already, feel free to propose a Regional Reader to the IMISCOE Editorial Committee for consideration. For these Readers please fill in this book proposal form.

Comparative Migration Studies (CMS) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal that provides a platform for articles that focus on comparative research in migration, integration, and race and ethnic relations. It presents readers with an extensive collection of comparative analysis, including studies between countries, groups, levels, and historical periods. CMS publishes research based on qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods studies. Contributions cover a wide disciplinary angle across the social sciences and the humanities. We are looking for articles that push present understandings of migration integration, and race and ethnic relations in new conceptual, methodological, and empirical, directions.

Topics include, but are not limited to: migration and integration in relation to citizenship, national identity, refugee and asylum policy, social movements (pro and anti-immigration), gender, racialization, whiteness, ethnic and religious diversity and (post)colonialism.

Finally, CMS is an open access journal. Please read more regarding the Open Access fees.
