Social Transformation and Migration - (Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship) by S Castles & D Ozkul & M Cubas (Hardcover)

About the Book

"This book examines theories and specific experiences of international migration and social transformation, with special reference to the effects of neo-liberal globalization on four societies with vastly different historical and cultural characteristics: South Korea, Australia, Turkey and Mexico. All of these countries have undergone far-reaching changes linked to incorporation of their economics into global value chains over the last decades. At the same time they have experienced new forms of immigration and emigration, which are closely related to the interaction between global forces and national and local forms of adaptation and resistance. Social Transformation and Migration conceptualizes migration not as the result of change nor a cause of change, but as an integral component of these transformation processes"--
