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.
