This paper sheds light on the global migration patterns of the past 40 years, and produces migration projections for the 21st century, for two skill groups, and for all relevant pairs of countries. To do this, we build a simple model of the world economy, and we parameterize it to match the economic and socio-demographic characteristics of the world in the year 2010. We conduct a backcasting exercise which demonstrates that our model fits the past trends in international migration very well, and that historical trends were mostly governed by demographic changes. We then describe a set of migration projections for the 21st century. In line with backcasts, our world migration prospects and emigration rates from developing countries are mainly governed by socio-demographic changes: they are virtually insensitive to the technological environment. As far as OECD countries are concerned, we predict a highly robust increase in immigration pressures in general (from 12 in 2010 to 17-19% in 2050 and 25-28% in 2100), and in European immigration in particular (from 15% in 2010 to 23-25% in 2050 and 36-39% in 2100). Using development policies to curb these pressures requires triggering unprecedented economic takeoffs in migrants countries of origin. Increasing migration is therefore a likely phenomenon for the 21st century, and this raises societal and political challenges for most industrialized countries.

This paper deals first with conditions of labor shortage in the Arab members of OPEC, investigating inter-Arab and LDC-Arab migration to which the economic boom in OPEC countries has given rise. This leads to a discussion of remittances and an assessment of the net gains to those non-oil LDCs that are currently involved in supplying labor to OPEC members. (DÜI-Hns)

Раздел "Международные отношения" ; Автор статьи поставил цель — на примере Франции определить содержание иммиграционного вопроса и выявить его влияние на политическую жизнь страны в конце ХХ — начале ХХI в. Он пришел к следующим выводам. Появление иммиграционного вопроса вызвано изменениями в процессе иммиграции во Францию в послевоенный период. Он связан со значительным замедлением процесса адаптации иммигрантов к французской социальной среде и со спецификой восприятия иммигрантов населением страны. Влияние иммиграционного вопроса на политическую жизнь Франции проявляется в росте популярности «ультраправых» движений, таких как Национальный фронт, выступающих с антииммигрантскими лозунгами. Рост популярности Национального фронта вынудил ведущие политические партии внести иммиграционный вопрос в свою политическую повестку. Адаптация французского законодательства к нормам европейского права позволила выработать оптимальные условия контроля над иммиграцией и снизить актуальность иммиграционного вопроса. Тем не менее, по-прежнему острой остается проблема сосуществования французов и иммигрантов из государств Африки и Азии. = The author uses the example of France to determine the content of immigration issue and to identify its infl uence on the political life of the state at the end of the 20th and at the beginning of the 21st century. He comes to the following conclusions: the immigration question appeared due to the immigration process changes in France in the postwar atmosphere. It is connected with the great deceleration of the immigrants' adaptation to the French social environment and with the peculiarities of French citizens' perception of them. The infl uence of the immigration issue on the political life of France manifests itself in the popularity growth of the far right movements, such as the National Front, which come out with anti-immigrant slogans. The National Front popularity growth made the leading parties add the immigrant issue to the political agenda. French legislation adaptation to the standards of the European law permitted to elaborate optimal conditions to control immigration and to decrease the urgency of the immigration question. Nevertheless the problem of co-existence of the French and the immigrants from African and Asian states remains urgent.

Discusses issues such as electoral politics, immigration, social movements gender, public policy, and identity; 7 articles. Some focus on Latina politics, and Mexican American and Puerto Rican rights organizations.

Until the latter part of the twentieth century, Italy's colonial past was a largely neglected topic in historical studies. Before then, only a handful of historians had shown any inclination for rescuing it from the dusty shelves of history, to which it had been relegated. With a few exceptions - most notably Angelo Del Boca - not many had the courage to venture into such treacherous territory. Colonial studies experienced a resurgence at the start of the new millennium. This book addresses the relationship between national identity and colonial culture in Italy
