Migrations of ethnic unmixing in the "New Europe"
International Migration Review, Vol. 32, No. 4, Winter 1998. 1,047-65
pp. Staten Island, New York. In Eng.
"This article addresses
a...neglected, link between migration and ethnicity or nationality in
Europe. It explores migrations of `ethnic unmixing' or `ethnic
affinity'. Ethnic unmixing and ethnic affinity have somewhat different
connotations and call attention to two distinct respects in which
ethnicity may figure in such migrations: (1) as a push factors at the
point of origin, and (2) as a pull factor at the point of destination.

"Kazakhstan has experienced...pressures of migration unlike
any other republic of the former Soviet Union. An especially great
number of immigrants came to Kazakhstan during the Soviet period. Many
peoples of the former Soviet Union, often against their wishes, took up
residence in the republic. The recent situation in Kazakhstan is
characterized by a further intensification of migratory processes.
Their complicated character, both in the past and today, has, in many

Maro--migration in a rural Indo-Fijian settlement.

Pazifik-Informationsstelle: Dossier, No. 46, May 1998. 26 pp.
Pazifik-Informationsstelle: Neuendettelsau, Germany. In Ger.
This
study is based on a socioeconomic and migration survey conducted in
1996 in a rural Indo-Fijian settlement in western Viti Levu, the main
island of Fiji. First, the social composition of the population is
analyzed, then agricultural (sugar cane) and nonagricultural economic
activities are described. The main part of the paper deals with
internal and international migration of the inhabitants and their
relatives, including migration of women after marriage. Emigration of
Indo-Fijians from Fiji is a special concern after the coup of 1987.
This paper shows the extent of emigration in a rural settlement and its
effect on the remaining population. Finally, the migration pattern of
Indo-Fijians and Fijians is compared.

Migration and migration policy in Ukraine since 1991.

Ger. with sum. in Eng.
During the Soviet era, migration to the
Ukraine resulted in a population increase overall and an increase in
the number of non-Ukrainians. Since 1991, the migration balance has
remained positive, with outflows to Russia, Belarus, and the West more
than counterbalanced by repatriating Ukrainians and Slavic peoples.
These migration flows are both ethnically motivated, with people
returning to their homeland after the forced migrations of the Soviet
era, and economically driven, with people migrating, sometimes only
temporarily, to places with more favorable economic situations. Those
returning to the Ukraine include Crimean Tartars, ethnic Germans, and
refugees. Migration from further abroad is also becoming problematic,
with people from Southeast Asia, the Near and Middle East, and Africa
coming in through the porous eastern border. A comprehensive migration
policy is in the process of being developed.

previous migrations have long-run effects and continue to impact the

not only more migration but different migrants. Migrants from over
1,300 different German villages are classified as networked and
non-networked. The most definitive results from comparing the two types
of migrants are the figures on cash assets because they support the
model's prediction that socially networked migrants needed less cash

"In
this paper we incorporate the possibility of international migration
into a monetary policy game played by governments in unionized
interdependent economies. We show that contrary to usual presumptions,
established by earlier studies that ignore the possibility of
international migration, inter-government cooperation in the monetary
field may well turn out to be advantageous. This has important
implications for the European economies, since it suggests that
measures taken towards encouraging international migration within EU
[the European Union] will not only harmonize the European labor markets
but will also make monetary policy cooperation within Europe, as
required by the Maastrict Treaty, more
advantageous."

"This
paper analyzes the supply-side determinants of illegal immigration
using a three-sector general equilibrium model of the source country.
Agricultural liberalization raises illegal immigration while
liberalization of the high tech sector reduces it. In contrast, capital
mobility in the source country renders trade policy ineffective for
controlling illegal immigration. Paradoxically, increased enforcement
(by the host country) may raise source country unskilled wages,
although illegal immigration falls. Finally, under capital mobility, a
rise in the source country restrictions on capital inflow raises the
level of illegal immigration and reduces the effectiveness of border
enforcement efforts by the host country."

effect of immigrant admission criteria on immigrant labour-market
characteristics. Population Research and Policy Review, Vol. 17,

"The skill levels of immigrants entering the USA has declined
in recent decades; however, most immigrants to the USA continue to be
admitted on the basis of family contacts, without reference to
labour-market characteristics. This situation has given rise to a
debate about the criteria on which immigrants are admitted or excluded.
I examine how the relative skill levels of immigrants admitted under
different criteria vary by country of origin, those criteria being the
possession of highly-valued skills and family connections. Using data
from the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Borjas' 1987 model is
tested. The results show (a) that the relative skill levels of the two
groups do indeed differ by country of origin, and (b) the pattern by
country of origin is consistent with the Borjas predictions. The policy
implication is that the effects of changing admission criteria will
differ by country of origin, but in a predictable
way."

been tested. From survey data on Tongan and Western Samoan migrants in
Sydney [Australia], this paper estimates remittance functions using
multivariate regression analysis. It is found that the remittance-decay
hypothesis has no empirical validity, and migrants are motivated by
factors other than altruistic family support, including asset
accumulation and investment back home."

Migration and international cooperation. [Migrations et
coopération internationale.] Migrations Société,
Vol. 10, No. 56, Mar-Apr 1998. 55-64 pp. Paris, France. In Fre.
The
author examines the idea that greater international cooperation in
aiding the economic development of third-world countries will reduce
rates of immigration to the developed countries. The cost of preventing
would-be immigrants from embarking on their journey is compared to the
far higher cost of repatriating them once they have arrived at their
destination. The author argues that enticements aimed at convincing
illegal migrants to return to their country of origin have been
ineffective. He suggests, however, that instead of emphasizing
cooperation with other countries of immigration, developed countries
should enlist their own communities of immigrants as partners in aiding
the development of their country of origin. The geographical focus is
worldwide, with particular attention given to France and the countries
from which it draws its immigrants, many of which are in
Africa.

"The legalization strategies pursued by Salvadoran immigrants
and activists from the 1980s to the present demonstrate that migrants'
and advocates' responses to policy changes reinterpret law in ways that
affect future policy. Law is critical to immigrants' strategies in that
[U.S.] legal status is increasingly a prerequisite for rights and
services and that immigration law is embedded in other institutions and
relationships. Immigration law is defined, however, not only when it is
first formulated but also as it is implemented, enabling the immigrants
who are defined according to legal categories to shape the definitions
that categorization produces. Immigrants and activists also take formal
legal and political actions, such as lobbying Congress and filing class
action suits. Through such formal and informal policy negotiations,
immigrants seek to shape their own and their nations'
futures."

unemployment. The involvement of southern European countries as target
countries for immigration is not seen as a simple consequence of the
[restrictive policies] practiced in the Seventies by European countries
with traditional immigration; the push towards these countries as well
as the pull to the same are also considered, particularly the
acceleration of the internationalization process of the labor markets,
the characteristics of the labor markets, and processes of segmentation

government policies are endogenously determined through voting. A model
is constructed in which agents vote on the level of immigration into
the economy. It is shown that agents' preferences over the level of
immigration are influenced by the effects of immigration on factor
prices. Agents' preferences over immigration are shown to depend
non-trivially on the characteristics of immigrants and whether they
will receive the franchise to vote in the future. It is shown that
subtle changes in the distribution of wealth among existing citizens
can have a dramatic impact on the equilibrium behavior of the

"In this study, we supplement the limited
knowledge about immigrant women by documenting their presence in the
U.S. immigration flow and their socioeconomic standing. In doing so we
review some of the theoretical explanations for female international
migration.... We use two measures of inequality. First, the standing of
immigrant women relative to native women; second, evaluation of the
standing of immigrant women relative to immigrant
men."

This research report "gives first
results of a wide-ranging empirical survey in...Poland, Hungary,
Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The main focus of interest was to
record the migration potential. If only asked [about] a general
interest in migration, about one-fifth of the population of [these]
countries thinks of working abroad for a shorter period of time. When
only those are considered who have already taken steps--at least
gathered information--to realize the migration, the migration potential
decreases from about 10 million [potential migrants] to about 4
million. If the potential is further confined only to those who have
already tried to get official entry and work permits, only 700,000
East-Central Europeans or about 1% of the over-14 year old population
there remain [as potential migrants].... These figures are still higher
than the Austrian and German legislation--as the two main countries of
destination--plan as yearly immigration and which are supposed to be
politically justifiable."

migration/mobility studies based on household surveys undertaken in
Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine during the period 1993-1996 and covering
developments over a twenty year span (1975-1994). The report is
preceded by an overview of findings for the three countries." This
report is concerned with recent trends in international migration in
Poland. Recent population and migration trends are first reviewed, and
the relevant methods, approaches, and research techniques are
described. The remainder of the study analyzes the characteristics of
migrants and the causes and consequences of emigration from Poland. The
data are from a series of ethnosurveys undertaken in selected
communities, in which a major assumption is that a specific role in
migration is played by the social milieu of potential migrants,
involving family, friends, and the local
community.

"This article makes the case that the new immigration [to
the U.S. from developing Latin American and Asian countries], motivated
by kinship ties and family reunification provisions of U.S. immigration
law, leads to a clustering of new immigrants into areas that are no
longer attracting large numbers of native-born Americans. It is argued
that the concentration of these groups into `high immigration regions'
will limit their access to employment and education opportunities that
would facilitate their spatial assimilation and upward

explores different approaches to the study of immigration and ethnic

those moving to the Americas from Europe and Africa in the 1600s and
1700s (Chapters 2-3), this volume considers the nineteenth-century
migration prior to American industrialization (Chapters 4-5), the
period of massive industrial migration in the decades straddling the
turn of the twentieth century (Chapters 6-10), and concludes with the
wave of immigration in recent decades that has changed the ethnic

"The accelerating economic globalization has
created a growing demand for highly skilled labourers. As a result,
there has been an increase in highly skilled and high-status migrants
to Germany, especially to the urban agglomerations with global city
functions. This migration process is carried mostly by the internal
labour and job movement of multinational companies. In the urban
centres these groups of migrants follow specific patterns of spatial
organization and segregation with regard to their place of residence.
But they also have other distinctive difference to the migrants with a
lower social status, such as higher social acceptance in their host
country, the transitory character of their stay in Germany, and their
intentions to return to their home
countries."

"The present paper
suggests that one element which needs to be considered in explaining
contemporary international migration [in the Asia-Pacific region] but
especially in anticipating trends over the next decade are the
differential patterns of growth of population within the region. While
population growth overall has slowed, the work force age groups will
continue to grow rapidly in Asia over the next decade or so and the
contrasts between individual countries will increase. The proportion in
the peak mobility age groups will thus continue to grow rapidly in
particular countries and will be one of the elements contributing to
increased levels of international migration within and out of the
region."

entry and expulsions, and unitary membership as citizenship. All but
one of the eight papers included were presented at two workshops on the
politics of immigration held in December 1995 and January 1996 at the
European University in Florence, Italy. "Regarding sovereignty,
contrary positions are presented on the impact of globalization on
immigration control, and on the kind of constraints (domestic or
external) that states face in this policy domain. Regarding
citizenship, some authors in this volume take up the recent debate
about post-national membership, presenting opposing positions on the
question whether post-national membership is a stable alternative to,
or temporary deviation from, national
citizenship."

that migration from the former post-communist countries to Greece is

internationalization of the global economy, the new international
political order, the globalization of culture, the increase in the
migration of the more highly qualified, the growth of bias against
foreigners, and the lack of social and political response to migration.
Although the author maintains "that in comparative terms, current
international movements are considerably less than movements in the
early stages of the century and that migratory impacts are
overrated", he suggests that there is a need to develop strategies
and policies to manage migration in a more humane and ethical
manner.

examine how the immigrant population of Germany has risen despite the
fact that the German government has sought to restrict it. They analyze
six major streams of migration: refugees and expellees who came
immediately after World War II, German resettlers from Eastern Europe
(`Aussiedler'), emigration of (West) Germans, migration between East-
and West Germany, foreign labor migrants and asylum seekers. The
dynamics of immigration, the chances on the labor market, and the
opportunities for social integration were remarkably different for each
of these groups. As far as absorption and integration are concerned the
authors argue that different groups of immigrants should be treated
more equally."

This report examines the relationship
between international migration and economic development in Indonesia
during a period of substantial economic growth in the national economy.
"Notwithstanding very large improvements in poverty alleviation
and the very rapid expansion of manufacturing employment during the
1980s, emigration pressures in Indonesia however appear to have
increased rather than declined. Average emigration flows, in [the
author's] estimation, rose from 1,000 to 130,000 persons per annum
during the 25 year period from 1969 to 1994. What is surprising is
[the] finding that the rapid expansion of employment in the urban
sector may not have reduced, but indeed contributed to increasing
propensities of Indonesians to emigrate."

"The essay deals
with statistics of the Argentine mid XIX century Censuses, the way in
which they conceived the national space (administrative and urban-rural
segmentation) and how they interpreted modern migrations. The following
results are among the main conclusions of the study: a basic and
uniform pattern is applied to migration; urban population is always
over-estimated; the pull factors are almost exclusively responsible for
the way in which mobility is
interpreted...."

Migration: think again. Foreign Policy, No. 109, Winter
1997-1998. 15-31 pp. Washington, D.C. In Eng.
The author examines
some basic misconceptions concerning contemporary international
migration. In particular, he presents arguments against the widely held
assumptions that immigration to the western industrialized countries is
out of control, that legal immigrants now impose costs on their rich
hosts, that illegal immigration is a major economic and social problem,
that only drastic measures can stop illegal immigration, that open
borders and free markets are the best way to take care of migration,
and that immigration is largely an internal problem that governments
can handle unilaterally.

minority ethnic concentration, segregation and dispersal in

"This paper examines the post-war
migration and settlement in Britain of black minority ethnic groups
originating from countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the
West Indies. The processes underlying the pattern of minority ethnic
concentration and segregation over the past four decades are reviewed
and provide a framework for interpreting the uneven pattern of
deconcentration and dispersal evident over the past 10-15 years. The
paper [argues]...that there are forces for both minority ethnic
inclusion and exclusion from competition for economic rewards and
social status in Britain. These forces, it is argued, produce different
outcomes for different groups and a variable experience within minority
ethnic groups according to generation, gender and
class."

"This article examines the incorporation of a national sample
of undocumented immigrants both before and after they applied to
legalize their status under the provisions of the [U.S.] Immigration
Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA). Data from the 1989 and 1992
Legalized Population Surveys (LPS-1 and LPS-2) are used. These surveys
provide labor force and occupational data for three critical reference
periods: as newly arrived undocumented immigrants, as experienced
undocumented immigrants, and as documented immigrants.... The overall
upward mobility of both men and women between first job and the
occupation held at time of application for legalization continued after
legalization. On average, men also continued to report higher status
jobs than women, although women did somewhat better after their status
was legalized."

Mumbai, India. In Eng.
The economic impact of large-scale labor
migration from the Indian state of Kerala to the oil-producing states
of the Middle East on the region of origin is analyzed. "Inflow of
large amount of Gulf remittances and its spending has resulted in
unprecedented economic changes since mid-1970s in poor and industrially
backward economy of Kerala. The Gulf migration has helped the migrant
households to attain higher levels of income, consumption and
acquisition of assets, resulting in overall reduction of poverty in
Kerala. But, on the other hand, the Gulf remittances have also pushed
up prices of land, construction material, consumer foods and charges on
health, education and transport, adversely affecting non-migrant
households belonging to poor, middle class and fixed income
groups."

established. This means that citizens are free to stay, work, study and
reside in any country of the European Union. This also means that
migration flows are likely to increase among the member States.
However, the analysis of those flows, which different systems of data

This report examines the emigration
pressures that have built up in the Philippines since the 1980s,
leading to substantial levels of labor migration overseas. It
"attempts to unravel some of the complexities of the Filipino
experience of international migration. It addresses the question of
whether `emigration pressures' are becoming stronger and, if so, for
what reasons. It focuses specially on a vital, but unexplored, question
regarding the relationship between international migration and poverty.
The articulation of domestic and international migration circuits is
analysed. The final section then identifies and evaluates various
policy alternatives."

Recent trends in international migration affecting
Italy are described. The author first considers Italy's history as a
country of emigration. Next, recent trends in immigration are sketched
out and the laws pertaining to immigrants, refugees, and people who
wish to obtain citizenship are discussed. Italy has been criticized as
the open door through which illegal migrants can gain access to the
rest of Europe; the author suggests that Italy must find more effective
ways to control the migrant flow, while allowing the effective
integration of those migrants of economic and demographic benefit to
Italy.

the village economic structure. They also affect individuals'
occupational choice and personal wealth, and ultimately the incentive
to migrate. Individuals found important reasons to leave under both
systems, but the impartible institution encouraged more emigration.
Institutional variations manifest themselves in diverse patterns of
individual emigrant characteristics: in comparison, emigrants from
impartible villages took less cash, were slightly younger, and more
likely to travel alone."

"According to traditional trade theory (Heckscher-Ohlin),
free trade and free migration are equivalent measures of economic
integration leading both to an equalization of factor prices. This
prediction is in sharp opposition to the observed preference of rich
countries for free trade over free migration. We provide an explanation
for this inconsistency: the redistribution policies in the countries.
Social welfare in countries with a relatively small number of
low-skilled native workers is higher with free trade than with free
migration due to redistribution of income towards immigrating
workers."

author analyzes the conflict inherent in current American attitudes

immigration, particularly from Mexico, contrasts with a general
willingness to profit from such immigration as a source of cheap and
available labor. Particular attention is given to the situation in
California and to the debate surrounding Proposition 187. The author
suggests that the main concerns of Americans about immigration are with
issues of race and security, and the conflict between the ideals of
working toward a more democratic society and building more controls to
create a more secure society.

where the public share of forestland and the road system are larger.
These features also characterize regions of more rapid deforestation.
Therefore, emigration policies must recognize their effects on

A multi-stream analysis of the changing pattern of interregional
migration in Great Britain, 1960-1991. Regional Studies, Vol. 32,
No. 4, Jun 1998. 309-23 pp. Abingdon, England. In Eng. with sum. in

"This paper uses a combination of spatial and
econometric modelling techniques to investigate longer term patterns
and processes of change in British interregional migration.... The two
major influences on the longer distance flows are found to be relative
rates of employment growth and perceived environmental quality, but
while the former induces marked fluctuations within the observation
period, the influence of the latter factors shows little variation,
with no sign of a clean break. There is, however, evidence of a sharply
reduced responsiveness of migration to unemployment differentials since
the mid-1970s."

Vocationally motivated migration behavior in double-income
households. An empirical analysis using GSOEP data. [Beruflich
bedingte Umzüge von Doppelverdienern. Eine empirische Analyse mit
Daten des SOEP.] Zeitschrift für Soziologie, Vol. 27, No. 5, Oct
1998. 358-77 pp. Stuttgart, Germany. In Ger. with sum. in Eng.
"Rational-choice or microeconomic approaches to migration
behavior are often restricted to analysing the rational action of the
(often male) head of household. These explanations do not allow for the
fact that migration decisions are frequently made by whole families. In
this context, the increasing labor force participation of married women
is assumed to be one important reason for declining migration rates in
Germany. In this paper, the relative effect of different job
characteristics of men and women on the labor migration of double
income households is examined using German household panel data
(GSOEP). We find a sex related bias in family decision-making, which
cannot be accounted for by classical microeconomic models of family
migration. Sociological approaches to household decision-making
emphasizing the importance of sex role ideologies held by family
members can therefore be considered useful complements to purely
economic models."

Internal migration and regional population dynamics in Europe:
Estonia case study. School of Geography Working Paper, No. 98/14,
Dec 1998. vi, 57 pp. University of Leeds, School of Geography: Leeds,
England. In Eng.
"During the 1980s the pattern of population
growth and internal migration has changed in Estonia. Reflecting the
turnaround in long-term population processes, migration development
reached the advanced stage with more or less regionally balanced in-
and out-migration flows and decreasing importance of net migration....
In the 1980s two developments have occurred in parallel: migratory
increase of rural population led by a deurbanizing native-born
population, and continued urban population growth as a result of the
population momentum of pre-transition immigrants.... Each life-course
stage was found to have its specific migration pattern, more stable
than the pattern for the total population. In many cases the changes of
internal migration are determined by the change in the proportion of
population in different life-course stages." The date extend from
the 1980s to 1995.

"Miami is the primate
city in a system of urban settlements that make up a Cuban ethnic

attracting Cuban migrants from metropolitan regions across the
archipelago. Four large secondary cores of Cubans outside Florida serve
as major `feeders' to the Miami enclave: northern New Jersey, New York
City, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Currents of migration to Miami are
especially strong among older, foreign-born, and disadvantaged Cubans,
an indication of segmented paths in Cuban assimilation. Although
concentration in Metropolitan Miami has been the Cuban story over the
past three decades, processes of deconcentration now may well be under
way."

one component of households' survival/adaptation strategy.... Our
empirical analyses are consistent with our a priori theoretical
expectations that household access to land, participation in the local
wage labor force, and access to migrants' social networks directly
influenced how families in Taiwan deployed migration as a household
survival strategy."

"This article analyzes changes in the significance of African
American ethnogenesis on the contrasting flows of young migrants and

Because of the temporal and spatial dependency among the urban
counties, I use seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) to estimate
simultaneously the coefficients across the two periods.... The results
support the significance of ethnogenesis, or the establishment of
`social networks and communication patterns as the bases
of...institutional and communal life'...in shaping the historical
migration of African Americans."

examines internal migration patterns and trends in two years, 1981 and
1991, and compares them.... When population changes for the 1981-91
period are examined, the picture is broadly of gains in the major
urban-centred regions of Norte and Lisboa Vale Tejo, and in the resort
industry region of the Algarve. In the more peripheral regions,
population decreases occurred.... Natural increase was strong in the
Norte and island regions and compensated for net out-migration, while
elsewhere it was weak.... However, the strong influence of internal
migration is apparent when the components of population change at
concelhos scale are analysed. The largest cities, Lisboa and Porto,
lose population in the 1981-91 period, particularly the capital, and
part of the population losses represent migration to surrounding
concelhos in the outer parts of the city
regions."

Malaysia. Journal of Human Resources, Vol. 33, No. 4, Fall 1998.
805-32 pp. Madison, Wisconsin. In Eng.
Migration choices of
husbands and wives in Malaysia are analyzed in the context of an
economic model of the household using data from the NEW sample in the
second wave of the Malaysian Family Life Survey carried out in
1988-1989. "Exploiting the retrospective histories, we compare
moves that take place before marriage with those made during the
marriage; among the latter, moves that are made with the spouse are
distinguished from those made alone. The evidence indicates that male
mobility is primarily economic in motivation and related to labor
market factors. Moves by women, however, seem to be more closely
related to fertility or family considerations. Migration is apparently
not simply an individual decision; the attributes of the spouse are an
important influence on mobility, albeit in an asymmetric manner. Moving
toward a broader definition of the household, we find the
characteristics of the parents, parents-in-law, and also the (relative)
age and gender of siblings all influence mobility in a rich, if
complex, way."

"Despite the fact that

short-term population movement can be quantified to yield aggregate
indicators of demographic impact. First, census data are used to
establish the rate and pattern of inter-regional, short-term
displacement. This reveals regional urban centres as net recipients of
temporary residents while most rural areas experience temporary
absenteeism. Secondly, results from household surveys are reported
stressing the importance of including visitors to households in the
estimation of service populations. Thirdly, administrative data on
occupancy in urban hostels are used to derive indicators of the
duration of movement."

Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In Eng.
"During the twentieth
century millions of African Americans have migrated from the South to
northern cities. Contrasting descriptions of this migration stream have
been presented in the literature--some emphasizing the rural origins
and lack of schooling of migrants, others claiming that migrants were
positively selected from the southern black population. This study uses
the newly available Integrated Public Use Microdata Series to compare
the educational characteristics of southern migrants with (1) the
southern population they left behind and (2) the northern population
they joined. Consistent with the expectations of migration theory, and
previous evidence for specific time periods, the findings show that
between 1880 and 1990 black migrants had significantly higher levels of
education than the sedentary southern population and significantly
lower levels of education than the northern-born population. Both
differentials grew smaller as the century
progressed."

"Young people were sent to the countryside during the

This paper examines the return migration of Chinese youth from the
countryside based on officially sanctioned reasons and grounds. The
most often used reasons or grounds were in fact claims to urban
residentship arising from connections to the city by previous
residence, by birth and by family. Claimants negotiated with the state
in a cultural language which rationalizes the claimed needs in terms of
traditional social codes. The study reveals that the passive and
submissive image the Chinese civil society outwardly present is
deceptive. Their claims, however, still fall short of modern social
citizenship."

relationship between security, migration, and refugees, and how this
has changed over time, the chapter is organized chronologically into
five temporal phases beginning prior to World War II and ending in the

defined during that period, a descriptive account of contemporary
migration trends, a more focused analysis of trends in forced
migration, and a final commentary on refugee

alternatives to the basic model. Besides a deconcentrated model, a
cross-traffic model is developed. Particularly the latter is quite
successful in explaining actual commuting. The paper pleads for
