The determinants of international migration: Conceptualising policy, origin and destination effects (2011, background): “rights hypotheses’ (Ruhs and Martin 2008), according to which there would be a trade-off between the rights that states attribute to migrants and the number of migrants who are allowed in.”
Migration, immigration controls and the fashioning of precarious workers (2010, background): “…the international debate in recent times has focused on the possibility of reformulations of guestworker schemes as states attempt to enforce temporariness and limit the length of stay of migrants in order to ensure that they do not develop the opportunity for such claims (Ruhs and Martin, 2008).”
Neoliberal Globalization, NAFTA, and Migration: Mexico's Loss of Food and Labor Sovereignty (2011, background): “It has been documented that there is an inverse relation between numbers and rights (Ruhs & Martin, 2008): the more migrant workers there are in rich countries, the fewer their rights are, and vice versa.”
Comparing Immigration Policies: An Overview from the IMPALA Database 1 (2016, background): “Recent scholarship has explored how particular immigration rules and social-policy provisions influence rights, labor-market incorporation, and social position of immigrants (Morissens and Sainsbury 2005; Sainsbury 2006; Heath and Cheung 2007; Ruhs and Martin 2008; Ruhs 2011).”
