Migration Reader: Exploring Politics and Policies / Edition 1

by Anthony M. Messina

Overview

In the contexts of UN initiatives on international migration, current debates, and post-9/11 security concerns, political scientists Messina (U. of Notre Dame) and Lahav (State U. of New York at Stony Brook) introduce 14 chapters addressing the concepts, myths, trends, approaches to studying such migration, and policy implications. Other contributors further explore migration demographics; theoretical and research frameworks; immigration, refugee, and citizenship policies; the "new politics of resentment," and ethical issues. National and regional economic integration efforts such as NAFTA are also assessed. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
