In a world grappling with refugee crisis, political unrest and
economies on the verge of collapse, temporary migration has become
an increasingly common phenomenon. This volume presents a
comprehensive picture of the transformative and development
potential of temporary transnational migration in political, legal,
economic, social and cultural aspects. This book: analyses how
temporary migration is distinct from more permanent and circular
forms of migration; brings together case studies from five Asian
countries (China, India, the Philippines, Thailand and Turkey) and
six European countries (Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, the
Netherlands and Ukraine); is based on exhaustive interviews of over
800 migrants, returnees and migrants' family members, along with
about 300 field experts, politicians, authorities and actors in
civil society; illustrates the diverse nature of temporary
migration, the continuing globalisation of the labour market and
the interrelated changes to immigration, integration and emigration
policies on local, national and international scales. This volume
will be indispensable to scholars and researchers of development
studies, international politics, international relations, migration
and diaspora studies, public policy, sociology and social
anthropology. It will also be of importance to government think
tanks and non-governmental organisations working in these areas.
