Negotiating Europe's Immigration Frontiers, Barbara Melis. Kluwer Law International, pp250, [ISBN 90-411-1614-1]. Detailed legal analysis of EU immigration policy, from the rights of third country nationals, rules on admission to the EU through to repressive control and expulsion measures, concluding that "with few exceptions, the trend recorded is to create a Fortress Europe, a "White Fortress". The emerging European immigration policy is therefore a serious challenge to western Europe’s declared values. In particular, the research has demonstrated that the new measures have racial and gender implications that undermine the liberal and non-discriminatory commitments of the Member States and the European Union itself".

No change for asylum seekers?, Sue Willman. Legal Action December 2001, p8. Considers the proposed changes after the government's review of asylum seekers' voucher and dispersal schemes.
