International migration is one of the top policy problems for European governments in the 1990s as the number of asylum-seekers continues to escalate. Governments' attempts to respond to new migration pressures whie simultaneously trying to abolish internal border controls have brought European migration policies to a critical crossroad. The author argues that only when policy-makers recognize the reality of migration as a continuing process, can more effective and sustainable policies begin to be developed.

<p>"Since the end of the cold war, international migration has come to be seen as one of the most pressing issues facing Europe in the 1990s. This study takes as its starting-point the growing concern among policy-makers and the public throughout Western Europe over the issue of migration. The author places the current migration debate within a comparative perspective, in its global and historical context, outlining current broad trends in 'economic' migration, and providing some pointers to how these trends have affected Western Europe in recent decades." "The analysis highlights elements of continuity and change in states' involvement in the migration process, a theme expanded in the context of the migration and migrant 'integration' policies pursued by both sending and receiving states. This provides a backdrop for a critical examination of current moves towards the harmonization of migration policy within the EC and wider groupings in Western Europe. The author raises questions about possible future responses to the migration challenge and asks, ultimately, what is the nature of that challenge?"--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Since the end of the Cold War, international migration has come to be seen as one of the most pressing issues facing Europe in the 1990s. This study places current migration issues within a comparative perspective, in their global and historical context. In this substantially revised and enlarged edition, the author assesses the significant changes that have taken place in Europe since the book was first published.

Shore to Shore demonstrates how EU policy toward the Maghreb has become increasingly defined by anxiety about the potential for rising migration levels from North Africa into Europe. By examining the 'hidden' civil war in Algeria, the rise of extreme right-wing political movements in western Europe, and moves to create a Euro-Mediterranean 'free trade' area, Collinson illustrates the profound influence of the migration issue on political and security relations between the two regions in the 1990s.
