Dieses Buch bietet eine aufschlussreiche Analyse der sich abzeichnenden Flüchtlings- und gemischten Migrationskrise im Kontext von vier großen, aktuellen Migrationsströmen: zwei in West- und Osteuropa und jeweils einer in Amerika und Asien.  Auf die Analyse folgt in jedem Fall eine kluge Identifizierung der Schlüsselfragen und die Präsentation einer Reihe von Vorschlägen für politische Antworten. Die Diskussion wird dann in einen globalen Rahmen gestellt und mit der kürzlich gestarteten Initiative der Vereinten Nationen zur Verabschiedung von Global Compacts für Flüchtlinge und Migranten verknüpft.  Der Autor bringt in dieses Buch, das erste seiner Art, seine umfangreiche Erfahrung aus der Beratung und aktiven Zusammenarbeit mit vielen der wichtigsten internationalen Organisationen ein, die sich mit Flüchtlings- und Migrationsfragen befassen.    Dieses Buch wird für Forscher, Studenten, NRO, Berufsverbände, nationale Ministerien, internationale Organisationen und Rechtsgruppen in den Bereichen Wirtschaft, öffentliche Finanzen, politische Ökonomie, Menschenrechte und Flüchtlingsrecht sowie internationale Beziehungen und Demografie von Interesse sein.

This book analyses the 2018 Global Compact on Migration and the need for, and difficulties of adopting a multilateral agreement on migration. Particular attention is given to the challenges and constraints involved, given not only the divergent needs and conditions of different counties but also the varying interests of different groups within countries. A synoptic history of previous attempts at reaching a multilateral migration agreement is provided, from 1927 onwards, to give context to the recent negotiations. The lack of a clear recognition of migration as a global process and the absence of a firm commitment to responsibility- sharing arrangements are highlighted. The book explains why the 2018 migration is both a breakthrough and at the same time an opportunity lost. In doing so,] it also analyses the limitations of the present deal, including inadequate attention to the root causes of forced and disruptive migration in origin countries, and highlights how the 2018 agreement can be built upon to create a dynamic harmony in the global migration system. The book will be relevant to researchers and policy makers as well as to professionals and activists concerned with migration, labour economics and international development.

A ground-breaking and sharply insightful book revealing the wide-ranging effects of the global economic crisis, the Arab Spring and the ongoing rebalancing of the world economy on international migration and its configuration. It debunks 'the business as usual' approach to the future challenge of migration and argues for a new approach to the issue.

The growth of the services sector in developing countries and their increased participation in trade in services have far-reaching implications for promotion of employment and income and management of international migration. The book brings out these implications in the context of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) and explains how trade-related temporary movements of persons can be a partial substitute for longer-term migration, serving the interests of both developed and developing countries in a more efficient global economy.

This book provides an insightful analysis of the looming refugee and mixed migration crisis in the context of four major, contemporary flows: two in west and east Europe, and one each in the Americas and Asia. The analysis, in each case, is followed by a judicious identification of the key issues involved and the presentation of a set of proposed policy responses to them. The discussion is then placed in a global setting and dovetailed with the recently launched United Nations initiative to adopt global compacts on refugees and migrants. The author brings to this book, the first of its kind, his vast experience of advising, and actively engaging with, many of the principal international organisations concerned with refugee and migration issues. This book will be of interest to researchers, students, NGOs, professional bodies, national ministries, international organisations and rights groups in the fields of economics, public finance, political economy, human rights and refugee law, and international relations and demography.
