Migration and Development

This text specifically links both international and internal migration with development at a global level, rather than at just a local level. It provides global coverage with examples taken from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Pacific, as well as from the more developed world.

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.
