Reviews

Dilip Ratha, lead economist, World Bank:
A much-needed and timely look at the complex question of how migration affects developing countries, this book addresses an impressive range of issues as it debunks common wisdom and offers new insight in its place.

Ronald Skeldon, University of Sussex:
This book provides a penetrating assessment of international migration and development that is comprehensive in both coverage and points of view. It incorporates broad conceptual approaches at the global level, as well as regional and local perspectives. Importantly, development is seen as much more than economic change, and chapters draw welcome attention to cultural and political dimensions, as well as to the roles of families, women, and children in the migration process. Theories are well supported by case studies at village, country, and regional levels, highlighting several of the main migration corridors in international population movement. This book will be a key reference for professionals, as well as teachers and students, on one of the leading policy issues of our day.

Manolo Abella, former director of the International Labor Organization's Migration Program:
New Perspectives on International Migration and Development offers fresh insights from contributors using different lenses to analyze the nexus between migration and development, illustrating how conventional assumptions need to be reexamined. Many essays also contain surveys of relevant literature, which makes the book a handy reference, especially for those studying international relations, sociology, politics, and government.
