Migration and public policy

de Vaughan Robinson

"Migration and Public Policy brings together a collection of significant papers by leading scholars on both international and internal migration. It investigates the role of governments in encouraging, discouraging or forcing such migration. The book critically appraises the motivation for state intervention, including economic efficiency, strategic considerations or an attempt to achieve ethnic, racial or religious homogeneity, and the intended and unintended effects of this intervention.". "This authoritative collection will be a valuable resource for students, academics, politicians and policy makers who have an interest in migration policy."--BOOK JACKET.
