2012, Migration and Organized Civil Society. Rethinking National Policy . London & New York: Routledge, 248 pp., isbn 978-0415691987, $135.00 (hb) Migration and Organized Civil Society. Rethinking National Policy presents a systematic and comparative analysis of the roles of transnational organisations and answers questions related to activities of these organisations across borders, their influence on political systems in both the country of origin and residence and how opportunity structures affect the relationships between these organisations and the nation states. It also questions the existing views about migrants and their integration in the receiving countries especially the ethnic viewpoint. The book has four parts. Part i looks at the theoretical framework of the emergence of transnational activities of migrant organisations. Nina Schiller questions methodological nationalism and emphasises the importance of non-ethnic forms of social relations i.e. ways of being and ways of belonging. She views, ways of being as the actual social relations and practices that individuals engage in rather than the identities associated with their actions and ways of belonging as referring to practices that signal or enact identities which demonstrate a conscious connection to a particular group. Margit Fauser’s work offers a way to disentangle migrant transnationalism
