ABSTRACT
The conclusion draws together the threads and points of the book and suggests that precarious inclusion as a strategy for governing irregular migration is not limited to the context of Norway. State practices that involve simultaneous processes of inclusion and exclusion can be found to different degrees in many welfare states. While limited inclusive practices directed at irregular migrants may reconcile some of the tension between welfare states’ commitment to basic security and migration control, they also contribute to maintaining irregular migrants lives as precarious.
