Description

Globalization is one of the dominant themes of the 1990s. Discussions of globalization generally centre on international business and economic issues, they rarely consider issues of international migration. Migration, or the potential for migration, is a central part of globalization. This text aims to show how migration connects with movements of goods and capital, and how it is closely tied up with social and economic changes. In assessing the complexities of the issue, the book addresses questions such as will globalization eventually cause migration pressures to subside, or will it release new migrant flows?
