Towards a Systemic Theory of Irregular Migration: Explaining Ecuadorian Irregular Migration in Amsterdam and Madrid

The book covers the subject of irregular international migration, of the legal definitions that relate to it, and the theories that study it from both a social and economic perspective. The book also includes a case-study, that of the Ecuadorian irregular immigration to Spain and to the Netherlands, and attempts to explain it by developing a systemic theory that includes a mixture of legal and socio-economic elements. The book comprises an introduction and three parts, and it is further subdivided into a total of eight chapters.
