Summary: "Migration is becoming an increasingly important topic in domestic politics, international studies and human security studies. This book seeks to address an issue that divides researchers and politicians. There are some that believe the government have the option to shut the doors to migration flows in the short, medium-term. This book stresses that stopping migration flows in the short, medium-term is fast becoming an unattainable goal for Asia and European states. This book explores key "push and pull" migration drivers selected, based on their relevance or exceptionality with regards to the principal geographical areas of Asia and Europe: an increasing ageing population in Asia and Europe which is considered a crucial driver for immigration growth in both continents; the impact of the economic crisis on the migration flows both within and towards Asia and Europe; the impact of climate change on rural areas and urban settlements in Asia and the surrounding countries of Europe; and the importance of the refugee flows induced by internal conflicts or dictatorial political regimes, that see refugees eventually becoming permanent refuges in different countries. The last section of the book is devoted to two specific constraints. Firstly migration border controls in the EU and the role of the new agency Frontex, and secondly the EU policies for immigrant integration. These two constraints are selected over others as they are not only deemed most likely to be imitated by Asian states but also highlight where there are significant differences between the strategies of Asian and European states in dealing with migration.
