Description
Within Europe, the phenomenon of mass migration across international boundaries for economic, political or other reasons has long been a significant factor in population growth and change. With the development of the European Community and the emergence of the new Eastern democracies, opportunities for migration are now greater than ever and with economic disparities accentuated by recession and political change, the next decade is likely to see both an enormous increase in the scale of migration and important changes in the numbers and destinations of migrants. Russell King, under the aegis of the ESF, has brought together a group of distinguished European scholars to assess the background and dynamics of transboundary population movement. In the first section, the theoretical and policy issues are debated from the perspectives of economic restructuring, geographical change and public policy. The second section examines the legacy of migration, including the issues posed by return migration, "guest workers", multiculturality, political and electoral geography, and the particular position of second and third generation migrants.
The final section considers present and future trends, with particular emphasis on the role of skilled migrants.
