In recent years, several influential commentators have stated or
strongly implied that the advanced industrial democracies are today
being overwhelmed by a host of problems - including rapid
population growth, the breakup of multi-ethnic states,
environmental degredation, and increasing economic differentials
between the "developing" and "developed" worlds - for which no
effective solutions are at hand. The migration-inducing potential
of these post-Cold War developments has been a particular source of
concern. This volume provides a counter-catastrophic view of
developments and a more sober and balanced assessment of the
challenges the United States and other industrial democracies face
in the sphere of international migration than that offered in
recent years. The first part is devoted to a diagnosis of the
problem, revalution of the notion of a "migration crisis" by
examining the likely consequences of population growth,
environmental degredation, and political conflict in the developing
and post-communist worlds. Special attention is also given to the
manifestations of these forces in the western hemisphere where they
may have direct consequences for immigration to the United States.
In the second part the implications for U.S. policy are considered,
ranging from promotion of democracy and development of strategies
for minimizing international migrations and refugee flows to the
intricacies of humanitarian relief and intervention when preventive
measures prove ineffective.
