Review "Understanding the present and future of global migration governance requires a thorough engagement with the IOM. … Geiger and Pécouds volume is an important contribution towards redressing that gap. It offers readers a critical and thought-provoking analysis of the neo-liberal, technocratic and depoliticizing logics that underlie the IOMs discourse and practice. … this volume is an important resource for scholars interested in the current transformations of migration management and their potential implications at global, regional and local levels."
