Abstract

Migration in Europe is a pressing social and political issue for the policy makers of the 1990s. Drawing upon a wide body of language, expertise and analysis, the book combines an important survey with a series of detailed country studies on migration in Europe.

The authoritative overview essay by the editors examines migration to and within Europe. They compare the flow during the last forty years with the present situation, detailing both the magnitude and geography of migration over this period. This is followed by thirteen individual country studies each of which features an historical introduction to emigration and immigration in the featured country, quantitative data sets and a detailed assessment of the social and political implications. These studies- specially prepared by leading scholars- cover the United Kingdom, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Israel, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, the former Yugoslavia, and the former USSR.

This comprehensive and scholarly book will be welcomed by teachers and researchers of social sciences and history for presenting new insights into one of the key political, social and economic issues facing modern Europe.
