Indonesia and issued in 1985. It attempts to focus on the relation of
this strategy to the policy-making and planning process as it is
actually carried out in Indonesia. An initial discussion of how NUDS
dealt with various urban development issues confronting Indonesia
emphasizes issues related to levels and spatial patterns of urban
growth. This is followed by an examination of the relation of these
outputs to the policy and planning process.... Finally, there is a
limited discussion of the spatial implications of selected national
level policies...."

"This paper
makes the case for a human-centred approach to the question of
population and development. It sets out to demonstrate that, despite
the claims made in policy discourse regarding positive developmental
consequences of lowering rates of population growth, there is little
evidence that concern for human rights and well-being has played much
of a role in past population policies or resulted from declines in
fertility rates.... The paper argues for retaining population questions
at the centre of development policy but suggests that such policy needs
to give fuller recognition to the intrinsic human dimension of the
inter-relationship between population and development, and in
particular, to the gender dimension of this
inter-relationship."

11-23 pp. Clayton, Australia. In Eng.
"The authors argue that,
if Australia is to achieve a stationary population (zero population
growth) within one generation, there is only one feasible path: net
migration should be between sixty and a hundred thousand a year while
the total fertility rate should be between 1.65 and 1.8.... Their
analysis shows that a lower stationary population of around 21 million
could only be achieved by higher fertility (2.06) and zero migration.
In contrast, if fertility were to fall to 1.1, very high migration
(around 400,000 p.a.) would be required to achieve a stationary
population, and the size of that population would be much larger
(around 50 million). They also argue that low fertility (around 1.65)
and zero migration would provoke a trend towards a dramatic population
decline which would be difficult to check or
reverse."

public sector. Special attention is paid to: the ongoing process of
population ageing; the interaction between the participation in
senior-worker schemes and the use of disability and unemployment
schemes; and the effect of labour participation of older workers on
employment opportunities for younger workers. From the scenario
analysis, it appears that policies aimed at influencing the
participation in senior-worker schemes will not result in substantial
savings. The main conclusion of the study is that ageing of the labour
force will lead to substantial cost increases anyway, whatever the
early-retirement policy."

"The 1994 Cairo conference on population

should change their emphasis from family planning to improving women's

others, the reproductive-health approach was judged a more humane, and
ultimately more effective, way of reducing fertility. [The author]
evaluates these arguments and considers their probable impact on

"This article examines
debates and discussions surrounding French pronatalist policies enacted
in the 1980s. Drawing on data collected from a wide range of primary
and secondary sources, including daily newspapers, parliamentary
debates, and French feminist publications, I explore the following
questions: First, does pronatalism spring from conservative nationalist
ideologies that conflict with feminist projects? Second, how have
French feminists reacted to the pronatalist agenda? Finally, could
women's equity serve as an impetus for instituting policies that would
encourage births? My analysis suggests that nationalism in France takes
many forms, and a wide spectrum of political actors from both the
political left and right have supported pronatalist initiatives in the
name of `the nation'."

"Greece's declining birth rate is said to constitute a
`problem of national survival'. The state tries to minimize the impact
that demographic weakening will have on the well-being of the nation by
downplaying the diaspora and by encouraging women at home to produce
more babies. Responsibility for the demographic situation has been
placed on women, their attitudes toward mothering and their use of
abortion. Maternal pensions have been forwarded by the state as family
policy and population policy, and criticized by Athenian women as a
means of professionalizing motherhood and perpetuating a limited vision
of female adulthood."

relations with Morocco are examined to illustrate the political
difficulties of a unified immigration policy within Spanish society and
for the EU.... Conclusions suggest that control of borders, although
difficult, may be the easier part of implementing a joint immigration
policy. Control of settlement is more difficult and problematic,
involving the role of immigrants in European society. Moreover, high
rates of native unemployment may coexist with immigration, given local
demand for low-skilled, low-paid workers."

liberal states accept unwanted migration. World Politics, Vol. 50,

"The
phenomenon of unwanted immigration reflects the gap between
restrictionist policy goals and expansionist outcomes.... Why do
liberal states accept unwanted immigration?... In the following, I
propose [that]...the capacity of states to control immigration has not
diminished but increased.... But for domestic reasons, liberal states
are kept from putting this capacity to use. Not globally limited, but
self-limited sovereignty explains why states accept unwanted
immigrants."

The author provides an overview of U.S. immigration policy
over the past 50 years. "Other industrial countries are also
experiencing rising levels of immigration, as well as a growing gap
between immigration policy goals and outcomes. What makes the United
States unique is its seeming policy of benign neglect toward this
gap." Sections are included on a global perspective, industrial
country reactions, reasons for migration, the U.S. experience, and
immigration trends and policy development in
California.

Immigration politics Italian style: the paradoxical behaviour of
mainstream and populist parties. South European Society and
Politics, Vol. 1, No. 2, Autumn 1996. 229-52 pp. Ilford, England. In
Eng.
"The politics surrounding Italy's first comprehensive
immigration legislation (1990) and its emergence in the subsequent
election campaign contradict our traditional understanding of how
political parties respond to immigration. The Italian Republican Party,
a small, liberal, governing party, waged a highly polemical campaign
against the Law, whereas the Northern League, a party known for its
right-wing tendencies, chose not to mobilize. By measuring the Italian
experience against traditional theory, this article demonstrates the
importance of considering party system fragmentation and differences
between populist and extreme-right parties in explaining the likelihood
that parties will exploit the issue."

"In this paper I
would like to discuss the correspondence of demographic configurations
(embedded in economic and political settings) and policies which aim at
population change by...immigration. I want to go back a little in
history and make my points clear by referring to a historical typology,
which helps to delineate the relationship between stages of population
development and the political inclinations engaged in migration
policy."

The significance of French immigration and integration policy.
In: Migration policies: a comparative perspective, edited by Friedrich
Heckmann and Wolfgang Bosswick. 1995. 99-111 pp. Ferdinand Enke:
Stuttgart, Germany. In Eng.
The author discusses immigration trends
and policy in France since World War II. "The French policy
towards immigrants has been specific, insofar as it has been closely
linked to the forms and the particular history of the formation of the
population and of national integration. On the other hand, the rise of
the Front National is, in spite of appearances, but secondarily and
indirectly related to the problem of
immigrants."

Using medicine to control immigration. Hastings Center Report,
Vol. 27, No. 6, Nov-Dec 1997. 52 pp. Garrison, New York. In Eng.
In
this one-page article, the author states that "a variety of means
have been introduced to prevent sick migrants from entering developed
countries.... Vulnerable people from countries that can reasonably be
assumed to have insufficient health care facilities are most likely to
be denied entry into our countries, and access to our health care
facilities. Medical professionals across the Western world are
continuously involved in medical examinations designed to prevent the
most vulnerable of potential immigrants from entering societies with
fully functional medical systems.... The participation of medical
professionals in immigration control measures is ethically problematic
and deserves closer scrutiny by medical ethicists as well as national
medical associations."

and intervention strategies. Third World Quarterly, Vol. 18, No.
1, Mar 1997. 25-51 pp. Abingdon, England. In Eng.
The authors
discuss policy development options to deal with migrants and refugees
to developed countries. "Our principal argument--perhaps to state
the obvious--is that international migration and refugee movements are
foreign policy, not simply domestic, issues. Nevertheless, citizens and
policy makers are all too often unaware that if they want to secure
their borders against unwanted population flows, this cannot be done
simply by unilateral decisions to regulate entry." The focus is on
Germany and the United States.

"Italy is traditionally a country of emigration. Only
in the last decade has the country become aware that it is becoming an
immigration country.... Concepts and laws for an immigration and
integration policy in Italy have been devised in the last years; as in
other areas of Italian politics, migration problems are due not to poor
laws but to their non-implementation."
