New Challenges for Migration Policy in Central and Eastern Europe / Edition 1

by Frank Laczko, Amanda Klekowski von Koppenfels, Irene Stacher

Overview

Since the fall of the Berlin Wall the countries of Central and Eastern Europe have had to deal with completely new legislative and policy challenges relating to migration. This book reviews current and expected migration trends in Central and Eastern Europe, including trends in labour migration, transit migration, trafficking and migrant smuggling. It considers how EU enlargement eastwards is likely to affect international migration in Europe and examines how much progress Central and Eastern European countries have made in aligning their migration legislation and migration policies with EU practice.
