In recent years, global migration has transformed in terms of its
numbers and reach, its political significance, and its impact. The
rising rates of international migration have been matched by
growing public and media interest around the world. Today, the
political and media attention on migration and greater public
interest and concern feed into an international debate that is all
too often poorly informed and one-sided. This Very Short
Introduction looks at the phenomenon of international human
migration - both legal and illegal - and offers an objective stance
on the topic, and its benefits and challenges. Khalid Koser reveals
the opportunities migration presents that must be taken advantage
of in the current economic climate, and debunks common myths to
demonstrate that society, as we now know it, cannot function
without migrants. Using interviews with migrants from around the
world, Koser presents the human side of issues such as asylum,
human trafficking, migrant smuggling, and the international labour
force, inviting readers to come to their own conclusions on the
international migration situation today. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very
Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains
hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized
books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.
Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas,

readable.
