The international mobility of people and elites is a main feature
of the global economy of today. Immigration augments the labor
force in receiving countries and provides many of the bodies and
minds that are essential to any vibrant economy. This book is based
on a blend of theory, varied country examples, and rich historical
material ranging from the mid-nineteenth century to the early
twenty-first century. It discusses the conceptual underpinnings of
the push and pull factors of current migration waves and their
impacts for development on the source and receiving countries. The
analysis reviews the historical context under which various
migration experiences have taken place - both in periods of
internationalism and nationalism - in order to contribute to
debates on the desirability of and tensions and costs involved in
the current process of international migration.
