Schengen Visa Implementation and Transnational Policymaking “This timely and tightly argued book is full of fascinating insight into the making of EU migration policy from the ground up. Through a fine-grained and closely observed study of three different European consulates in Morocco, Infantino offers us a rare look into the ‘black box’ of EU visa policy - showing, through compelling analysis, the high political stakes and conflictive everyday realities taking shape around the hotly desired ‘Schengen visa’. A crucial read for anyone who wants to understand the shifting boundaries of migration control today, in Europe or beyond.” —Ruben Andersson, Associate Professor of Migration and Development, University of Oxford and author of ‘Illegality, Inc.: Clandestine Migration and the Business of Bordering Europe’ “Infantino makes an original and important contribution to understanding vexing issues of migration and border control with an innovative organizational study of Schengen visa practices. Her carefully developed analysis demonstrates the crucial, yet often hidden ways, in which street-level organizations shape bordering policy through their everyday practices.” —Evelyn Z. Brodkin, Associate Professor at the School of Social Service Administration, University of Chicago “This book is a great example of the way in which public policies and European studies may become friendly to large audiences when they are connected with sociological and anthropological research, bringing everyday life to arid questions as the ones of the implementation of EU visa policy in the consulates of Belgium, France and Italy in Morocco. This is a great success and a book which will encourage others to follow this path. Her description of how civil servants in different consulates share narratives that convey sense to visa policy on the ground by suggesting the issues at stake is exemplary.” —Didier Bigo, King’s College London, UK, and Sciences-Po Paris, France
