Assembling the Wheel
The Migration Policy Database (MIGPOL) is a comprehensive open access data infrastructure for scholars and students who are interested in the ways public policies intersect with the movement of individuals across international borders. It brings together the most advanced and academically rigorous projects in this area of research and makes their data available and easily accessible. MIGPOL’s core ambition is, in other words, to “assemble – rather than reinvent – the wheel” (Helbling & Solano 2021) of comparative migration policy research.
