Beskrivning

An increasing number of landings of illegal migrants on the coast of Italy and Spain, but also the recent riots, car-burnings, and street battles that occurred all across France and that have been attributed to the migrant community, seem to indicate that migration is likely to stay high on the European policy agenda for some time.

From the reviews: "This book resulted from the 2004 Kiel Week Conference with the same title. The conference focussed on an important aspect of globalisation, namely the increase in cross-border migration for employment reasons. ... a particular strength of this book is the set of thoughtful comments on each chapter. ... this book makes an important and timely contribution to the literature on the economics of international migration. ... the chapters and the commentary together provide good stepping stones for further research on each of the topics." (Jacques Poot, Papers in Regional Science, Vol. 87 (2), June, 2008)
