Review:

"This intelligent and comprehensive collection fills a conspicuous void, addressing the major issues raised by international migration."?

GARY P. FREEMAN, University of Texas at Austin

Description:

With some 175 million people living outside their country of origin, the phenomenon of transnational migration raises numerous challenges for contemporary societies, states, and international relations. The Migration Reader introduces the key articles and documents that analyze this complex phenomenon and its domestic and international consequences.

The Migration Reader introduces the key articles and documents that analyze the complex phenomenon of transnational migration and the challenges it poses for contemporary societies, states, and international relations.

Enhanced by the editors'  commentary, the selections identify concepts and trends in international migration, review the historical origins of contemporary migration and refugee regimes, consider immigration politics and policies, and explore migration in a global context. The result is an intellectual window through which students can better understand the changes occurring in the international environment and in state-society relations within both affluent and less-developed countries.

 

Target Audience:

Academicians, students and researchers of International Relations and Political Science.
