International Migration Policies and Programmes

In all historical eras governments have attempted to act upon migratory flows, seeking different objectives and applying varying strategies. Recently a new world order or disorder has appeared. As a consequence, social sectors and public opinion claim more effective political responses. This timely study takes an in-depth look at questions having to do with migration policies. What are the foundations of migration policies? How do social perceptions and sectorial pressures influence migration policy-making? What strategies and goals prevailed at the principal historical stages? What programmes correspond to the different patterns of migration policies? What are their distinct features, problems and ways of implementation? What political alternatives can cope with present-day migration problems? The answers provided in this study cast light on a multiplicity of issues. Practitioners in the areas of political sciences and international relations will find this publication invaluable.International Migration Policies and Programmes, was published 2005 under ISBN 9789211036015 and ISBN 9211036011.
