Review: This excellent volume renews a tradition of critical social science analysis of migration’s role in the international political economy. The focus on capitalism, migration and development, and governance renders it particularly timely.
– Mark J. Miller, University of Delaware
In this welcome volume, a distinguished group of scholars help both to move global migration to the core of IPE and to advance the study of the global political economy of migration.
– Gary Freeman, University of Texas at Austin
Description: How does the evolution of global capitalism shape patterns and processes of migration? How does migration in turn shape and intersect with the forces at work in the global economy? How should we understand the relationship between migration and development, and how is migration connected with patterns of poverty and inequality? How are processes of migration and immigration governed in different parts of the world? The authors of Migration in the Global Political Economy tackle these questions in a set of engaging and authoritative chapters.
Mobilizing the core insights of critical IPE scholarship and combining analysis of the big picture with attention to particular regions, countries, and actors, the authors seek to bring the increasingly important processes of migration to the center of inquiries into globalization and its social underpinnings.
