An increasing number of landings of illegal migrants on the coast
of Italy and Spain, but also the recent riots, car-burnings, and
street battles that occurred all across France and that have been
attributed to the migrant community, seem to indicate that
migration is likely to stay high on the European policy agenda for
some time. The flow of migrants from poor to rich countries does
not, however, constitute a typically European problem. V. S. public
policy has also been facing a continued (legal and illegal) inflow
of labor from different regions, notably Mexico and other Latin
American countries. And similar developments in other advanced
countries (Australia, Canada) as weil as in selected fast-growing
emerging markets in Eastern Europe and East Asia imply that these
countries too are being compelled to adjust their public policies
in order to relieve migratory pressures and deal with their
consequences. The world economy already saw rising cross-border
labor flows in the 1990s and most forecasts predict that
South-North and South-South migration will re main at relatively
high levels over the next decades and possibly even turn into a
major global challenge for policy makers in the 21st century."

In der Studie werden die Starken und Schwachen des deutschen
Bildungssystems aufgezeigt und zehn Thesen zur Reform einzelner
Bildungsbereiche formuliert. Bildungspolitik wird dabei als Teil
einer Wirtschaftspolitik definiert, die auf die langfristige
Sicherung des Standortes im internationalen Wettbewerb ausgerichtet
ist und von der erhebliche Impulse fur Wachstum und Beschaftigung
ausgehen koennen. Die bildungspolitischen Empfehlungen beruhen auf
einer umfassenden Analyse verschiedener Bildungsbereiche aus
oekonomischer Sicht. Es werden Aspekte vertieft, die im Mittelpunkt
der aktuellen bildungspolitischen Diskussion stehen, wie die
Qualitat der allgemeinen Schulbildung, die Finanzierung der
beruflichen Bildung und der Hochschulbildung, die potentiellen
Auswirkungen von Bildungsausgaben auf die Leistung von Schulern,
der Wachstumsbeitrag von Bildung und die Moeglichkeit, die
Produktivitat einer alternden Bevoelkerung mit Hilfe einer
Weiterbildungsoffensive zu erhoehen.
The Transformation of Latin America analyses contemporary economic
policy in the region and offers a concise overview of the problems
and prospects for future economic development. The contributors
examine the current status of policy reform in key areas -
stabilization, trade and capital markets. The book is divided into
three parts. The first part considers competing approaches to
stabilization policy and discusses institutional and policy reform
of central banks as well as the causes and consequences of Mexico's
1994 balance of payments crisis. The second part deals with
regional integration and the world economy, assessing issues such
as the impact of the Uruguay Round of GATT on the future
international specialization of Latin American countries and the
economic potential of sub-regional integration initiatives, in
particular of Mercosur. Foreign investment and capital markets are
addressed in the final part of the volume. Here the authors present
an account of the recent trends in the region's emerging financial
markets and short-run capital inflows and take a closer look at the
origins, patterns and destinations of long-term capital inflows.
The Transformation of Latin America will be welcomed by academics
and postgraduate students interested in development economics,
international economics and policy studies. Government officials,
policymakers and officials of non-governmental organizations,
bankers and corporate executives will also find this book to be a
valuable resource.
