Migration and refugee movements are becoming increasingly prominent features of the millennial world. Persistent disparities in wealth and job opportunities and continued political conflict and repression impel growing numbers of people to seek work and safety outside their own countries. However, many governments and their citizens remain reluctant to open their borders to foreigners. For this reason, in one country after another, migration and refugee questions have become politically controversial, creating the need for a sound understanding of policy options and their implications. Part I of this book brings together five international scholars who survey key aspects of the international experience of migration and refugee policies. Part II addresses the thorny migration and refugee issues confronting South Africa's new democratic government.
