The book Irregular Migration in Europe, produced under the CLANDESTINO research project, has been recently published by Ashgate. This publication contributes to the knowledge of the scale and nature of the much discussed but under-researched phenomenon of irregular migration in Europe. Presenting a comparative analysis of the experiences and policies of different EU member states, this book draws on an extensive range of sources to offer an overall picture of irregular migration in twelve EU member states.

The CLANDESTINO Project has been a response to the need for supporting policy makers in designing and implementing appropriate policies regarding undocumented migration. The project has aimed to: a) provide an inventory of data and estimates on undocumented migration (stocks and flows) in selected EU countries, b) analyse the data compiled comparatively, c) discuss the ethical and methodological issues involved in the collection of data, the elaboration of estimates and their use, and d) propose a new method for evaluating and classifying data/estimates on undocumented migration in the EU.
The CLANDESTINO Final Report presents the overall findings of the project in a very concise way, providing references and links to project reports, project policy briefs, and other project working papers and forthcoming publications.
