Published in Association with UNESCO "Each essay provides a
detailed, well-written overview of the historical development and
demographic growth of international migration in the region. These
regional essays are miniature masterpieces, and the authors
demonstrate encyclopedic knowledge of their subjects. Overall, the
book has a far higher degree of thematic coherence and development
than most anthologies on global migration....Highly recommended." .
Choice International migration is high on the public and political
agenda of many countries, as the movement of people raises concerns
while often eluding states' attempts at regulation. In this
context, the 'Migration Without Borders' scenario challenges
conventional views on the need to control and restrict migration
flows and brings a fresh perspective to contemporary debates. This
book explores the analytical issues raised by 'open borders', in
terms of ethics, human rights, economic development, politics,
social cohesion and welfare, and provides in-depth empirical
investigations of how free movement is addressed and governed in
Europe, Africa, the Americas and Asia. By introducing and
discussing the possibility of a right to mobility, it calls for an
opening, not only of national borders, but also of the eyes and
minds of all those interested in the future of international
migration in a globalising world. Antoine Pecoud holds a PhD in
Social Anthropology from Oxford University and has been affiliated
to different research centers in the UK, Germany, and France. He
now works for UNESCO's section on International Migration. Paul de
Guchteneire is the Chief of UNESCO's Section on International
Migration. He was previously director of the Steinmetz Archive for
social science data in the Netherlands and President of the
International Federation of Data Organizations.
