Globalisation, Regional Integration, International Migration
International Social Science Journal, (2000)Abstract
After having recalled the two-way links between international migration and development and having placed migratory movements in the con-textof globalisation, the author examines the new situation created by the strengthening of immigration control policies and the relevance of the alternative strategy which considers free trade as a substitute for migration. He examines to what extent the effects of economic liberalisation are likely to modify the decision to emigrate. In conclusion, he outlines various impli-cations for migration policies.
