Migration in Post-war Europe: Geographical Essays - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book examines the different types of migration that have occurred in Europe since the last war, concentrating on long-distance moves since these are arguably the ones of most significance for the balance of a regional population distribution. The book is a series of extended essays, each dealing with a particular migration theme. Four essays look specifically at Western Europe: rural-urban migration; international labour migration (both from the point of view of destination countries and the countries of supply) and inter-urban migration. Each essay reviews the general situation in Western Europe and then concentrates on case examples in more detail. A fifth essay considers migration in Eastern Europe, allowing comparison between the situation in command economies and those in Western Europe. The book is well illustrated with maps and diagrams and comprehensive bibliographies are provided. Readership: students of social geography and migration studies; those working with migrants.
