Internal Migration in the Developed World (eBook, ePUB)

Are we becoming less mobile?
Redaktion: Champion, Tony; Shuttleworth, Ian; Cooke, Thomas

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Much contemporary social and migration theory posits that the world is becoming more mobile, leading to the recent 'mobilities turn' within the social sciences. Yet, there is mounting evidence to suggest that this may not be true of all types of mobility, nor apply equally to all geographical contexts. Drawing on detailed empirical literature, this book examines the long-term trends in internal migration in more advanced countries and presents a critical assessment of the extent to which global structural forces, as opposed to national context, influence internal migration in the Global North. It will appeal to those working in Geography, Migration Studies, Population Studies and Development Studies.

Rezensionen

Early on in this review, the value of this book as a text for novice migration

researchers was highlighted. However, this book's readership should extend beyond

students of migration. Understanding changing patterns of internal migration can

inform discussions around economic policy, housing markets, labour markets, social

inequalities and segregation: this book begins to shed light on how. - Frances Darlington-Pollock from Appl. Spatial Analysis and Policy 731-733
