INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL ECONOMY SERIES THE PO...

This open access book contributes new theoretical and comparative insights on migrant agency 
undocumentedness and informality in non-Western  non-democratic migration regimes. The book is
conceived as a critical reflection on the contemporary migration regime scholarship  and  more
generally  on comparative migration studies  which primarily focus on migrants' experiences and
immigration policies in the context of liberal democracies in North America and Western Europe.
Addressing this gap is particularly important when considering the fact that many new migration
hubs are nondemocratic  which in turn requires us to revise or produce new frameworks of
analysis beyond existing and dominant Western-centric migration regime typologies. This book
takes up the case study of Central Asian migrants in Russia and Turkey-two archetypal
non-Western  nondemocratic regimes and key migration hotspots worldwide-and investigates how
migration governance outcomes are shaped by the informal power geometries and extralegal
processes in physical and digital landscapes in which migrant workers  employers  middlemen 
landlords  street world actors and street-level bureaucrats negotiate the contemporary
migration system. This lively ethnography presents new empirical material  a comparative
perspective and methodological tools for studying migrants' experiences and migration
governance processes in non-Western migration regimes.
