Workers Without Frontiers: The Impact of Globalization on International Migration

This analysis for the International Labour Office (ILO), Geneva, Switzerland, studies how globalization affects the mobility of workers and whether existing labor institutions can safety-net their rights. After examining globalization in a socioeconomic context and modern migration patterns, the author concludes that present trends augur even greater migration pressures due to the disruptive impact of differential capitalist development and media's lubrication of the flow. Tables and figures show demographic and economic aspects of emigration and immigration. Includes a foreword by an ILO director.Peter Stalker is the author of 'Workers Without Frontiers: The Impact of Globalization on International Migration' with ISBN 9781555878566 and ISBN 1555878563.
