Trade And Migration In The Modern World

Trade and Migration in the Modern Worldexplores one of the main paradoxes that faces the modern world today: the dichotomy between nationalism and internationalism in economic affairs. The growing integration of national economies, as a result of globalization has resulted in mistaken belief that economic policies are no longer governed by individual countries. This book examines the principal characteristics of globalization. Mosk utilizes a theory of economic and political gravitation to assess the impact that market forces and political resistant have on the diversity and correlation of trade and migration flows. This book presents an empirical and quantitative analysis of long run immigration and population dynamics, trade flows and the political economy of immigration policy across the US, Europe and Japan. An impressive achievement the book will be invaluable to students studying economics as well as demographic historians, policymakers and political scientists.
