Migration in A Globalised World
New Research Issues and Prospects

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.

Reviews
“From social cohesion and development to transnationalism and forced migration, this book spans many issues through well-structured dialogues between established scholars of the English- and French-speaking worlds. An achievement deserving acknowledgment.”
--Rosita Fibbi, Swiss Forum for Migration and Population Studies, University of Neuchâtel

“A major advantage of this book is the different perspectives it offers on various subjects, themes and research approaches that, in my opinion, are very useful for academics and students in advanced courses.”
-- Lorenzo Cachón, Department of Sociology, Complutense University of Madrid

“This book provides valuable insight into current migration research by concentrating on crucial topics such as social cohesion, transnationalisation, migration and development and forced migration. It analyses migration as an entanglement of social and spatial processes.”
-- Felicitas Hillmann, Department of Social Sciences, Bremen University
