- Summary:
- The last two decades have witnessed sweeping changes in the composition, orientation and dynamics of international migration. While it's no surprise these transformations affect societies of origin and settlement, we still seek to understand how and why they carry with them certain social challenges. Migration in a Globalised World shines a light. Ten chapters astutely present theoretical and empirical insights by experts in the fields of international migration and social cohesion, transnationalisation, the migration-development nexus and the ever-blurring categories of refugee and asylum seeker. With its broad thematic scope and lively dialogue between French, Anglo-Saxon and Northern European academic traditions, this volume offers a major new perspective to further research and, potentially, to improve the quality of life in a globalised world.
- Migration in a Globalised World bevat theoretische reflecties op en empirische inzichten in migratie in een globaliserende wereld. Bij sociale wetenschappers dringt langzamerhand het besef door dat migratie, integratie, veranderingen in transnationale betrekkingen en sociaaleconomische ontwikkelingen nauw met elkaar verweven processen zijn. De bundel verkent deze samenhang en doet een suggestie voor een nieuw analytisch kader voor migratieonderzoek op basis van vier hoofdlijnen: migratie en sociale cohesie; internatiomotivatie nalisering en een transnationale benadering; het migratieontwikkelingsmodel; en het vervagen van de scheidslijn tussen vluchtelingen en asielzoekers. Dit is de eerste studie die de vele academische tradities binnen migratieonderzoek samenbrengt aan de hand van een dergelijke brede thematische aanpak.
