Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful
introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and
law, expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to
be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of
the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject
areas. Providing a timely overview of the main issues and
scholarship in migration studies, Ronald Skeldon examines the
principal methods of migration and offers in-depth guidance on
trends and types of population movements in today's world. Key
areas such as forced movements and refugees are considered,
alongside more voluntary migration and the relationship between
migration and development. The main approaches to migration policy
are also reviewed. Key features include: a broad interdisciplinary
approach to migration studies consideration of both internal and
international migration a fresh look at future migration challenges
a substantial review of the literature. This insightful Advanced
Introduction will be an excellent resource for both graduates and
undergraduates studying migration. It will also be a useful guide
for researchers in government departments, international agencies
and think tanks who are actively engaged in work on migration.

The Routledge Handbook of Migration and Development provides an
interdisciplinary, agenda-setting survey of the fields of migration
and development, bringing together over 60 expert contributors from
around the world to chart current and future trends in research on
this topic. The links between migration and development can be
traced back to the post-war period, if not further, yet it is only
in the last 20 years that the 'migration-development nexus' has
risen to prominence for academics and policymakers. Starting by
mapping the different theoretical approaches to migration and
development, this book goes on to present cutting edge research in
poverty and inequality, displacement, climate change, health,
family, social policy, interventions, and the key challenges
surrounding migration and development. While much of the migration
literature continues to be dominated by US and British
perspectives, this volume includes original contributions from most
regions of the world to offer alternative non-Anglophone
perspectives. Given the increasing importance of migration in both
international development and current affairs, the Routledge
Handbook of Migration and Development will be of interest both to
policymakers and to students and researchers of geography,
development studies, political science, sociology, demography, and
development economics.
The first text that specifically links both international and
internal migration with development at a global level. The world is
divided into a series of functionally integrated development zones
which are identified, not simply on the basis of their level of
development, but also through their spatial patterns and historical
experience of migration. Migration and Development stresses the
importance of migration in discussing regional, rather than simply
country, differences. These variations in mobility are placed
within the context of a global hierarchy, although regional,
national and local cultural and social conditions are certainly not
ignored in this wide-ranging work.
This work presents an assessment of the migration from Hong Kong
that has occurred since the second half of the 1980s. This
pronounced outflow of highly educated people (a "brain drain") is
having a profound impact on destination areas, as well as on Hong
Kong itself.
