This lively collection presents the revised papers resulting from a conference held at the Faculty of Law of the University of Groningen under the auspices of the Groningen Centre for Law and Governance and the Department of European and Economic Law. The conference brought together scholars from a number of countries to examine a series of current issues in international migration law - a topic which continues to be of major importance worldwide. The collection aims to widen horizons in the debate and assist in achieving an understanding of the fact, often forgotten by those who prefer rhetoric to understanding, that migration is a truly global phenomenon. While Europe is at the forefront of population changes and debates on the control and management of migration, there are major issues and crises in many areas across the globe, and various contributions to this volume rightly draw attention to them.

这本生动的论文集介绍了在格罗宁根大学法学院举行的一次会议上，在格罗宁根法律和治理中心以及欧洲和经济法系的主持下所产生的修订论文。这次会议聚集了来自多个国家的学者，研究国际移民法中的一系列当前问题--这个话题在全世界范围内仍然具有重要意义。该文集旨在拓宽辩论的视野，并协助实现对这样一个事实的理解，即移民是一个真正的全球现象，而这一事实往往被那些喜欢夸夸其谈的人遗忘。虽然欧洲处于人口变化和关于控制和管理移民的辩论的最前沿，但全球许多地区都存在着重大问题和危机，本卷中的各种贡献正确地提请人们注意这些问题。
