In recent years, influential commentators have stated or strongly implied that the advanced industrial democracies are today being overwhelmed by a host of problems -- including rapid population growth, the breakup of multi-ethnic states, environmental degradation, and increasing economic differentials between the "developing" and the "developed" worlds -- for which no effective solutions are at hand. The migration-inducing potential of these post-Cold War developments has been a particular source of concern. This volume provides a counter-catastrophic view of developments and a more sober and balanced assessment of the challenges that the United States and other industrial democracies face in the sphere of international migration than those offered in recent years.Zolberg, Aristide R. is the author of 'Global Migrants, Global Refugees Problems and Solutions' with ISBN 9781571811707 and ISBN 1571811702.
