The International Migration Review Golden Anniversary Edition
October 1, 2014
The Center for Migration Studies of New York (CMS) celebrates the 50th Anniversary of its premier publication, the International Migration Review (IMR), with the release of a Special Golden Anniversary Edition, entitled, “International Migration Scholarship in the 21st Century: Advancing the Frontier of Scholarship and Knowledge.”
For 50 years, IMR has led social science research and analysis in the field of international migration, population dynamics, ethnic group relations and refugee movements. The Golden Anniversary Edition, edited by Jørgen Carling (Peace Research Institute Oslo), Jennifer Lee (University of California, Irvine), and Pia Orrenius (Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas), features ten original papers by leading scholars that address critical analytic issues in international migration scholarship and research. The papers listed below cover varying topics: population and spatial dynamics; migration decision making; issues of resources, inequality, transnational processes; governance and mediation; and integration, gender and the second generation.
