The current era is marked by an unparalleled level of human
migration, the consequence of both recent and long-term political,
economic, cultural, social, demographic and technological
developments. Despite increased efforts to limit its size and
consequences, migration has wide-ranging impacts upon social,
environmental, economic, political, and cultural life in countries
of origin and settlement. Such transformations impact not only
those who are migrating, but those who are left behind, as well as
those who live in the areas where migrants settle.
The Handbook of Migration Studies offers a conceptual approach
to the study of international migration, exploring clearly the many
modes of exit, reception and incorporation which involve varied
populations in disparate political, economic, social and cultural
contexts. How do these movements also facilitate the transmission
of ideologies and identities, political and cultural practices and
economic resources? Uniquely among texts in the subject area, the
Handbook also provides a section devoted to exploring methods for
studying international migration.
Featuring forty-seven essays written by leading international
and multidisciplinary scholars, the Routledge International
Handbook of Migration Studies offers a contemporary, integrated and
comprehensive resource for students and scholars of sociology,
politics, human geography, law, history, urban planning,
journalism, and health care.
