About the Book

At the beginning of the 21st century, the linkages among migration, development and environment undoubtedly belong to the most pressing issues on the political agenda. A special focus of this book is on two of these relations – on environmentally-induced migration and on the relationship between migration processes and development. The prime aim of the book is to contribute to and extend the current knowledge on these issues. How to define environmentally-induced migration? What are the differences between environmental and economic migrants? Is environmentally-induced migration forced or voluntary and what are the outcomes of selected regional field case-studies? ? How to classify environmental migrants? Where are the regional hot-spots of environmentally-induced migration? How to systematize the knowledge on migration policies? What are the impacts of skilled migration on development? What is the role of the transnationalism paradigm in the international migration research? Is international migration trade-diverting or creating? What is wrong with the effectiveness of development aid providing? Several prominent scholars and young researchers offer their answers to these challenges in the book.

Review :
"At long splendid last, we have a professional book setting out a series of contributions reflecting the diversity of authors, and dealing with the tangled issues of Migration, Development and Environment. The Editors have done a thoroughly fine job in assembling such an expanse of expertise. I have one basic reaction, right on, write on!"—Norman Myers, Oxford University"This book provides excellent reading to anyone wishing to become more familiar with today's big issues in international migration research: environmentally induced migration, transnationalism, highly skilled labour migration, migration and development. It shows very clearly that migration can no longer be seen as an issue that affects only sending or only receiving countries. It impacts at both ends of the migratory chain. The contributors to the book are an interesting mix of established scholars and relative newcomers, many of them rooted in Central Europe, an area increasingly affected by international migration."—Han Entzinger, Erasmus University, Rotterdam"Current international migration issues and their complicated mutual relations to environment and development are the main topic of this book. Distinguished scholars along with young scientists with various backgrounds discuss conceptual and practical matters while also taking you around the Globe—from China to Cape Verde, from Australia to the Czech Republic…Read this interesting book—'truth is always the strongest argument' (Sophocles)."—Dusan Drbohlav, Charles University, Prague
