Description and Table of Contents
Description
This study of the origins of governmental regulation examines the motives which led to the state intervening to protect North Atlantic migrants from terrible hardships and exploitation. Through an analysis of legislation, law and administrative practice, it show how the harsh facts of such a situation could force government towards the claims and control mechanisms characteristic of the modern state.
