Abstract
Urbanization and international human mobility will continue to be key features of globalization. In this context, local immigration policy is poised to gain prominence, but it cannot be sufficiently understood without an account of the regional, national and transnational processes in which it is embedded. The relational approach to local immigration policy proposed by Filomeno is especially designed for this challenge. It can also be extended to studies of other types of local/urban policies, of national immigration policies, and of the multi-level governance of immigration.
