The Migration and Settlement of Refugees in Britain

Beschreibung

The increase in the number of asylum seekers arriving in Europe has placed the issue of migration high on the policy agendas of national governments and the European Union. This book analyzes the impact of policy on the social and economic settlement of refugees in Britain in that context. The issues explored include: current UK and EU migration policy; the history of migration to Britain and policy responses; theories of migration and migrant settlement; social and economic settlement of refugees in Britain - including language, employment, social networks, the migratory process, community, development and policy recommendations.

Rezensionen

'[A]n essential text in Undergraduate courses concerned not just with migration and refugees, but also with wider aspects of contemporary British society such as cities, labour markets and social policy. In addition, it fills an important specialist gap for more advanced level students and scholars.' - Khalid Koser, Ethnic and Racial Studies
