This book is the first part of a research programme 'Migration, Population and Poverty', primarily financed by the Swedish Council for Social Research (SFR), and mainly based at Centre for Research in International Migration and Ethnic Relations (CEIFO). The programme was initiated by three members of the editorial group, Tomas Hammar, Grete Brochmann and Kristof Tamas, as well as Sture berg, professor of geography at Uppsala University, The second part of the programme is an ongoing study of the control policies of eight European countries. The preconditions of immigration control, legal traditions and political implications are studied. At the centre of interest is the crucial dilemma: how a liberal democratic state can maintain control over its immigration without denying the human rights of individuals, even though they are foreigners or non-citizens. A team of scholars, headed by Grete Brochmann, at the Institute for Social Research in Oslo, will give answers in a comparative analysis planned for publication in 1998.
A third part of this programme has also been planned, a study of emigration and immobility in one or two selected regions. On the basis of our theoretical assumptions about the causes of immobility, we have suggested an anthropological study of the costs and benefits of not going abroad in comparison with those of emigrating. The study will contrast similar 'twin' regions that differ with respect to high or low emigration. To this end, we have received financial support from the Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA/SAREC) and travel grants from SFR and the Norwegian Research Council. Together with the Union for African Population Studies (UAPS) in Dakar, Senegal, we organised in November 1995 a preparatory conference. A volume of the proceedings, published jointly by UAPS and CEIFO, appeared in 1996 under the title: International Migration in and from Africa: Dimensions, Challenges and Prospects, edited by A. Adepoju and T. Hammar.
The present project has primarily been financed by the Swedish Council for Social Research (SFR) from 1994 to 1998. Additional financial and/or institutional support has been received from the Fritz Thyssen Foundation Kln, the Europa-Kolleg Hamburg, the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) London, University of the Bundeswehr, the Institute for Social Research Oslo, and the Norwegian Research Council.
