Summary
A ground-breaking and sharply insightful book revealing the wide-ranging effects of the global economic crisis, the Arab Spring and the ongoing rebalancing of the world economy on international migration and its configuration. It debunks 'the business as usual' approach to the future challenge of migration and argues for a new approach to the issue. Following a critical discussion of the recession-led changes in migration patterns, practices and policies, the book depicts in some detail the changing landscape of South₆North and South-South migration and presages how migration might look in 2045. In addition to presenting a carefully crafted set of policy prescriptions and practical measures to address the post-recession migration issues, the author shows how nations can turn the present crisis into an opportunity to lay an enduring basis for better management of human mobility and puts forward a bold proposal indicating exactly how this can be done
