PIP: This is a general review of global trends in international migration. Topics covered include the internationalization of the global economy, the new international political order, the globalization of culture, the increase in the migration of the more highly qualified, the growth of bias against foreigners, and the lack of social and political response to migration. Although the author maintains "that in comparative terms, current international movements are considerably less than movements in the early stages of the century and that migratory impacts are overrated", he suggests that there is a need to develop strategies and policies to manage migration better in a humane and ethical manner.
