International migration has become an increasingly
salient feature of the contemporary world, as more
than 200 million people -- a figure equivalent to the
sixth most populous country in the world -- now live
outside of their country of birth. Yet much of what
we know about international migration is based upon
individual-level ethnographies or country-specific
studies, limiting our understanding of the
macro-structural, or global, characteristics of
international migration. In this timely work,
Matthew Sanderson provides a comprehensive and
systematic treatment of international migration that
spans the less-developed world in the late twentieth
century. He draws upon an interdisciplinary
theoretical framework and employs a multi-methods
approach that combines quantitative, cross-national
analyses with case studies of countries. The
findings from the analyses demonstrate that
international migration is both an important cause
and consequence of global social change.
Globalization and Migration offers a novel
perspective that challenges our contemporary
understanding of why people move and how these
movements affect receiving countries in the
less-developed world.
