Professor of Migration Studies and Deputy Director of the Migration Policy Centre (MPC) at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence. Previously Professor of Political Economy at the University of Oxford.
Martin’s research focuses on the economics and politics of international migration, with a strong international comparative dimension. He is particularly interested in the links between migration and wider public policies, and the tensions between diversity in national institutions (broadly conceived) and supra-national policy-making.
