[Migration mobility and movement of the population].

"The functions of migration are reviewed from the viewpoint of the demographic situation in the USSR (by regions, sex, age, education, profession, labour and social activity, nationality, rural-urban, etc.). Some effects of migration on fertility are shown. The authors investigate the role of the economic functions of migration for the process of professional mobility. The territorial mobility of the population is analysed on a wider scale as a part of the social mobility in the socialist society. In connection with this, some problems of the migration policy as an element of the demographic policy of the USSR are outlined." (summary in ENG, RUS)

Regional interdependence and migration in Asia.

"The 1980s witnessed increasing regional interdependence in Asia through trade and investment. Increasing flows of labor within the region, however, raise questions about three important issues: (1) the assumption that trade, investment and aid will eventually mitigate migration pressure in source countries and the effectiveness of migration policies based on that assumption; (2) whether increasing regional interdependence stimulates or deters migration; [and] (3) the effect of rising interdependence on the political and international relations aspects of migration. As a partial attempt to address these questions, this article examines the regional pattern of economic interdependence by utilizing information concerning trade, investment and migration flows. The concept of interdependence/dependence is discussed within a political context, focusing on migration and policy responses to it. Observations are made on the implications for regional stability and development."

Emigration, return, immigration: a review and evaluation of Greece's postwar experience of international migration.

"This paper offers a review and evaluation of the Greek experience of international migration.... The analysis is based partly on available published data, and partly on qualitative appraisals. Three major international migration phases are analysed--emigration, return migration and immigration--and the main socio-economic and cultural effects of these migration trends are discussed. The paper pays particular attention to the recent mass immigration movements, noting their heterogeneity...and describing their impact on the Greek labour market. The article concludes with some comments on the difficulties of formulating a Greek migration policy in the light of the country's location, open borders and internationalized economy."

The development of policy on denizens in Denmark.

"This article offers an analysis of Danish migration policy from 1960-90. The framework employed is the Swedish sociologist Thomas Hammar's concentric 'gate' model and his concept of 'denizens'. Non-Danish citizens' access to Danish society is regulated by 'gates' and security and rights increase in proportion with the number of 'gates' passed, culminating in naturalisation and full social, legal and political rights. After an initial profile of the various groups of foreigners living in Denmark, I discuss the development of policy measures regulating immigration with particular reference to the 'Law for Foreigners'. Finally I turn to the critical issue of policy on denizens."

Immigration policies: a comparative overview.

"This is a short comparative overview of the present immigration policies of certain Western countries which, as regards questions of migration, are comparable. It is based on data provided by the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) in Vienna.... It covers the following European countries: Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden and the United Kingdom. For comparative purposes it also covers three countries overseas which are regarded as typical countries of immigration: Australia, Canada, and the U.S.A."

International migration under incomplete information.

"We present a model for deriving optimal sequential migration decisions under incomplete information. As a main characteristic of the model, the decision maker can rationally learn about pecuniary and non-pecuniary net return on migration in different countries by migrating into these countries. Furthermore it is shown that the optimal migration policy can be characterized by a 'simple' procedure, called 'Gittins-index policy'. In the context of our sequential migration model we find more satisfying explanations for some relevant empirical observations (e.g. remigration) than...would be possible within the traditional deterministic approach."

New trends and problems in urbanization: a survey of farmers who moved into townships in the Shanghai suburbs.

Results are presented from a survey conducted in China to evaluate 1984 changes in a rural migration policy. "To reflect the new trends and problems of the urbanization of the rural population in Shanghai suburbs in the light of the policy, the Institute of Population Studies of East China Normal University conducted a sampling survey, in early 1989, of the farmers who had moved into townships in the Shanghai suburbs in recent years. From the seven townships selected, a total of 1,057 samples were obtained, representing 17.0% of the total number of farmers who had moved into the townships."

A history of population movement between New Zealand and Australia.

"Migration between New Zealand and Australia has assumed considerable significance for both countries during the past 25 years. Commencing in the late 1960s, three major waves of net immigration from New Zealand have seen Australia's New Zealand-born population increase from 52,000 at the 1966 Census to 212,000 at the 1986 Census.... This paper aims to set these contemporary trends in historical context. So strong has been the tide flowing towards Australia that it is easy to imagine, erroneously, that it always flowed that way." Movements since the early 1800s are examined. Aspects considered include major periods of net migration, gender balance, short-term and permanent movement, and size and composition of immigrant groups. The impact of changes in migration policies over time is analyzed. The author's name is incorrectly listed as George A. Carmichael on this article. (SUMMARY IN FRE AND SPA)

Trade, aid and migrations: some basic policy issues.

The link between trade policy and international migration is explored using data from the United States and Europe. "We conclude that restrictive trade policies in industrialised countries have most likely added to migration pressures. We then turn to the broader question of the effects of income growth in the sending countries on the propensity to migrate. We argue that, in relatively poor countries, an increase in income will be associated with higher migration flows. For middle income countries, however, income growth will lead to lower migrations. In the medium run, therefore, the relationship between development levels, as measured by GDP per capita, and the propensity to migrate follows an inverse-U pattern. Econometric analysis of aggregate migration flows from Southern Europe provides considerable support for such conjecture."

[Austria as a target of immigration?].

This is an overview of the history of migration to and from Austria in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. "The article describes the discrepancy between the demographic history of Austria as a country of immigration and the prevailing collective consciousness defining mass migration as historical exception. The authors conclude: What the country needs is a coherent and transparent migration policy." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

Immigration as a source of political discontent and frustration in Western democracies.

"This article describes the migration context of three sets of Western democracies and then explores plausible linkages between the scale, timing, and characteristics of migration, and the substance and process of migration policies, on the one hand, and support for government, on the other. Trying to move beyond plausibility, I discuss indirect indicators of the impact of immigration on Western publics: attitudes toward immigration policy and immigrants, support for extremist parties, and acts of violence and disorder linked to anti-immigrant or racist motives."

Government policies and international migration of skilled workers in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The relationship between the international migration of skilled labor and government policies affecting migration both directly and indirectly in Sub-Saharan Africa is explored. "At an intercontinental scale the deleterious effects of the global division of labour have not merely been passively accepted; within the continent new patterns of skilled-labour migration have been created by increasingly differentiated economic performance and political relationships. A case study of Kenya, a country of small current net immigration of skilled workers, is used to specify some of the processes that establish the relationships between immigration and emigration policies, and how these have been mediated by conditions for skilled workers."

[Emigration and immigration in Greece: recent trends and political questions].

"In order to give an account of the migrations related to Greece, the Greek territory can be characterized by several attributes that account for the way in which a certain form of migration has been understood in relation to this country. Therefore, Greece can be spoken of, not only as a space of work, circulation, settlement, especially for the citizens of the EEC and for clandestine immigrants, but also as a space of retirement, retreat and transit, whether for refugees or for people belonging to a Greek minority.... We will attempt a statistical approach of the migratory phenomenon as well as a presentation of the figures for each country of origin, and a global appreciation of the economic and social importance of these migratory movements for Greece." The implications for migration policy are discussed. (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA AND ITA)

Ethics, national sovereignty and the control of immigration.

"This paper examines the debate as to whether migration is a basic human right or if the claims of outsiders are superseded by the principle of national sovereignty--the moral obligation of states to do the best for their own citizens. In evaluating migration and refugees it focuses on issues of open borders, migration selectivity, the capacity of sovereign states to control entry, the claims of refugees, the relationship between sovereignty and justifiable intervention, and the role of public opinion and morals throughout migration policies."

Underurbanisation and the zero urban growth hypothesis: diverted migration in Albania.

The author challenges the hypothesis "that the mode of production accounts for the specific forms of urbanisation under socialism and the slow urban growth observed...[and emphasizes instead] the effects of planning in the traditionally organised command economy." It is suggested that strict migration policy is a pivotal factor in achieving zero urban growth. "A case study focusing on patterns of diverted migration and the growth of non-urban settlements on the outskirts of the Albanian capital, Tirana, illustrates how the proposed explanations may help to re-interpret the particulars of urbanisation under orthodox socialist rule."
