This comprehensive book delves into the intricate phenomenon of undocumented minor migration, particularly focusing on the influx of such minors into the United States and the European Union. Often characterized as 'undocumented,' 'illegal,' or 'irregular,' these flows have surged in recent years, prompting widespread media coverage, policy discussions, and scholarly research. Leading scholars examine the diverse contexts these minors encounter upon their arrival, encompassing legal and ethical frameworks for protecting unaccompanied minors, governmental decisions regarding their 'best interests,' the agency of these minors in navigating immigration and social service systems, conditions in detention centers, and the health and social service needs in receiving communities.

While definitions and methods of counting unaccompanied migrant minors may vary between the U.S. and the EU, this book underscores the shared vulnerabilities and strategies employed by these immigrant minors to safeguard themselves and enhance their circumstances. At the same time, contributors to the volume shed light on the common challenges faced by both European and U.S. governments as they develop policy strategies and legal frameworks to balance the best interests of these children with the national interests of the countries they settle in.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, further enriching the understanding of this critical issue.
