Arab Migration in a Globalized World

by International Organization for Migration, League of Arab States

Overview

The Regional Conference on Arab Migration in a Globalized World brought together representatives of governments and of international organizations, as well as academics and practitioners to discuss the migration and migration- related issues in the Arab world and how they affect and are themselves affected by the particular conditions of the countries and peoples of the region.

This book was written by some of the leading experts on Arab migration and provides a wealth of information, policy analysis and data relating to migratory flows in the Arab region and neighbouring countries. It includes several papers that examine the impact of migration on development in the Arab region, and suggests ways in which countries of origin and destination might work more closely together to enhance and reap the potential benefits of migration.
