International migration has reached new heights since the 1960s.
Altogether, some 215 million people live in countries other than
their countries of birth, and according to surveys, another 700
million say they would leave their homes and move to another
country if they could. Nations-both sending and receiving-have
responded to this growing international migrant flow with new laws
and domestic programs. In receiving countries, they include laws
and programs to control entry, encourage high-skilled immigration,
develop refugee policy, and speed assimilation. In sending
countries, governments are implementing and experimenting with new
policies that link migrant diasporas back to their home countries
culturally or economically-or both. This volume contains a series
of thoughtful analyses of some of the most critical issues raised
in both receiving and sending countries, including US immigration
policy, European high skilled labor programs, the experiences of
migrants to the Gulf States, the impact of immigration on student
educational achievement, and how post-conflict nations connect with
their diasporas. We hope that the volume helps readers draw lessons
for their own countries, and, hence, is offered in the spirit of
mutual learning within a continued international dialogue of
research and analysis on migration.
