Summary
Migration studies focuses on people who cross international borders that delimit sovereign states. After crossing, migrants come to hold diverse legal statuses, ranging from naturalized citizens to those without papers. This status affects their access to rights, services, and benefits. Migration status also shapes people’s relations with government, their interactions with other people and institutions in society, and their sense of membership in the receiving community. Researchers who study migration must therefore understand the political sociology of states, power, and law.
