Every day newspapers in the Western world carry articles about
illegal immigrants, asylum seekers and other migrants. The focus of
these articles varies greatly from migrants as a threat to one or
another important social or societal interest, to migrants as an
important asset to those same interests. The tone is most often
emotional - whichever way the focus goes. The overall impact is to
confuse: is migration good or bad? In this book Guild and van Selm
seek to investigate these value assessments regarding migrants in
Europe, the USA, Canada and Australia. While looking at issues such
as security, human rights, legal systems, identity, racism,
welfare, health and labour, the authors also respond to critics of
immigration.

"
International Migration and Security" brings information and
analysis to the immigration debate. Experts from a variety of
different disciplines-ranging from urban planning to judicial
reform-are collected n this volume to consider the impact that and
the concept of immigration has on their field. The key question
examined is how movement of persons affects areas as diverse as
health, national security, the welfare of state, cuisine, identity,
law and human rights, and the political, social and legal results.
This innovative and interdisciplinary book provides new insight
into the debates around immigration in the twenty-first century and
will be of interest to all students and researchers in the area.
Once the sound of NATO bombing campaigns on Serbia died away,
Europe was left with the problem of the hundreds of thousands of
people displaced by the conflict, both from Kosovo and from Serbia.
Whatever Western governments say about the need for swift
repatriation, in practice it is a long and difficult process. The
situation became a testing ground for the EU's asylum and
immigration laws which came into force in May 1999 with the Treaty
of Amsterdam. This book describes and analyzes the vacillations of
EU Member states concerning the management of the Kosovo refugee
crisis. Contributors looks at seven states - Austria, France,
Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom -
writing from the standpoints of law, political science,
international relations and geography, and addressing key themes:
the lessons to be learnt from the reception of refugee Bosnians;
the national debates on asylum and immigration within which this
crisis took place, and which influence policy making; the wider
theortical issues; and the way EU integration impacts on national
policy making.
