'This landmark book sets new standards in the analysis of internal
migration in the UK. With a focus on the ''drivers of migration'',
knowledge of economic, social, demographic, political, and
environmental factors is advanced. Identifying the impacts of
environmental change and future trends of migration, the book
delivers impressive, original, up-to-date findings of UK internal
migration. The book is an essential resource for students, scholars
and practitioners grappling with the complexities of emergent and
entrenched patterns and processes of migration.' - Darren P. Smith,
Loughborough University, UK 'Fielding's book on contemporary
internal migration in Britain comprises a magisterial review of a
complex topic. It moves very logically from the description of the
migration patterns through discussion of the key drivers onto
policy-oriented speculation about future developments in the light
of alternative scenarios of economic, social and environmental
change. The author has a refreshingly direct and authoritative
style that puts his own personal stamp on the book, making for a
compelling but also thought-provoking read.' - Tony Champion,
Newcastle University, UK 'Fielding provides us with a fascinating,
authoritative and up-to-date picture of internal migration in the
UK, together with a masterful synthesis of the explanations that
underpin the spatial patterns of migration at regional and
sub-regional scales. He exposes some of the paradoxes apparent in
historical migration behaviour and he also speculates creatively on
what might be the impacts of environmental vis a vis socio-economic
drivers on internal migration in the future under different
scenarios.' - John Stillwell, University of Leeds, UK Those who
need to migrate the most - perhaps due to low paid or insecure jobs
- tend to actually migrate the least, while those who need to
migrate the least - for example those who have secure, well-paid
jobs - tend to actually migrate the most. This is one of the many
paradoxes about internal migration in Britain that are explored in
this topical and timely book by Tony Fielding. Migration in Britain
takes a fresh look at the patterns of migration at both the
regional and local levels and develops new theoretical frameworks
and novel methods to explain these patterns. It anticipates British
society and its internal migration flows fifty years hence in the
absence of climate change, and comes to judgments about how and in
what ways these migration flows might be affected by climate
change. Developing new approaches to explain migration patterns,
this book will appeal to academics, researchers, postgraduate and
undergraduate students of population migration, as well as
businesses concerned with housing and utilities. Anyone with a
general interest in migration issues including the impacts of, and
adaptation to, climate change, will find much to interest them in
this insightful book.
