Migration, population shifts and flights from natural disaster have
been known since the dawn of history, yet have only been rigorously
studied in modern times. Are contemporary scholars of migration
capable of evolving a single comprehensive theory which accounts
for the diverse causes and implications of migration?In Theories of
Migration, Robin Cohen has brought together a substantive body of
scholarship from many disciplines and schools of thought which
addresses the failure to produce one satisfactory general theory of
migration. Attempts to construct a theory of migration have been
constrained by the considerable variety of migrations which have to
be considered - professional and unskilled, compelled and
voluntary, settler and temporary, internal and international, and
finally, illegal and legal. Perspectives arising from all the major
social science disciplines are represented in this volume which
features over 25 articles originally published in a wide array of
professional disciplines. Theories of Migration shows that some
important advances have been made across disciplines to create the
building blocks of a theory which encompasses the many different
forms of human migrations found in recorded history.
