Intra-company transfers
This paper explores the role of intra-company transfers in the United Kingdom government's labour immigration policy over the last quarter century. It demonstrates their role in determining the number of non-European Economic Area foreigners working in the country and examines the way policy, both generally and specifically, has developed. It presents new statistical data and uses that evidence to examine the interplay between the government and …

Shifting portfolios of international labour mobility among UK-based business consultancies
Recession and international corporate mobility
The international mobility of MNE personnel has been increasing in recent years both through traditional forms of expatriation and short-term assignments and through business travel. These overall 'portfolios of mobility', however, have been complemented by intensified virtual communication and growing localization of recruitment in developing production and market regions. In this article, we report on a return survey of the impacts of the 2008 …
Global Migration, Ethnicity and Britishness
Exploring the most topical issues around migration and integration in relation to Britain, this book, now in paperback, examines people smuggling and the elite labour migration that is becoming a feat
Professor James H Johnson 1930-2009
Professor James (‘Jim’) Johnson died on the morning of 12 March 2009 at his home in Lancaster; he was aged 78. He will be remembered for his research in historical geography and population studies, his books on urban geography, migration, and Ireland, and above all else for the inspirational nature of his teaching. Jim was born in Coleraine on 19 November 1930 and spent his boyhood years in a house off the Antrim Road. In 1943 he entered the pres…
Portfolios of mobility
This article is about how UK-based transnational corporations source expertise and move highly skilled people among their sites. TNCs rely heavily on their internal labour markets for skills. We examine patterns and trends in the ways that TNCs in two sectors, aerospace and extractives, dynamically orchestrate and deploy their networks of expertise internationally to address the demands of different markets. We chart the types of mobility that ex…
In whose interests? IT migration in an interconnected world economy
The paper focuses on the interaction between the national management of labour migration flows and the sourcing strategies used by transnational corporations in the IT sector which operate in an increasingly liberalised world economy. Through examination of employer‐sponsored immigration among IT professionals to the UK, it draws attention to the need for migration policy to balance the conflicting interests of employers and resident labour. It c…
International Migration in Europe
The main aim of this paper is to identify the chief characteristics of European migration flows during the last decade. We do this in terms of a series of questions relating to diversity of the flows and shifts in the patterns and trends. We start by examining whether there have been major changes in stocks of foreign population and whether migration flows in Europe are increasing. We will also review the main origins of foreign migrants and iden…
Note from the Guest Editor
The subject of international trafficking in human beings has captured a lot of attention during the last few years from many interest groups.There are few parts of the world untouched by what may now be regarded as an expanding business always seeking out new markets.Many of the migrations within its purview take place over extremely long distances, from China to the United States or Iran to Australia, for example.Others are relatively local affa…
Trafficking and Human Smuggling
The article reviews the empirical evidence for trafficking and human smuggling in Europe. It argues that a market for irregular migration services has emerged, in which the mechanisms and forms of organization are still relatively unknown. Irregular migrants using these services are exposed both to unscrupulous service providers and to the immigration and policing authorities, thereby generating a dependence on safeguards provided by the traffick…
International Migration in the Unece Region
The 1990s has been a turbulent decade for inter-national migration in the UNECE region. While recorded movements have declined in recent years in Western Europe, major questions surround the frequency of unrecorded and irregular migrations which many believe are steadily increasing in number, though the evidence is problematic. Central and Eastern Europe is characterised by short-term, short-distance, cross-border movement, most of which is forec…
International Migration Statistics
purpose of this book is to help countries generate relevant and more meaningful data on international migration. The authors cover a wide range of conceptual and analytical issues related to the measurement of stock and flows of international migrants and problems concerning international comparability of migration data. They discuss the potentials and weaknesses of existing data collection systems [including censuses population registers border …

The geography of highly skilled international migration
The present paper provides a research review of recent literature on international migration by the highly skilled. Its principal aim is to identify the themes which are being discussed, and suggest where research into the subject might best proceed.... [The authors outline] the two most important perspectives in extant research, economic and socio-cultural, [and review] what is known about the geography of migration by the highly skilled.... The…
Migration as a Business
A case is made for treating international migration as a global business which has both legitimate and illegitimate sides. The migration business is conceived as a system of institutionalized networks with complex profit and loss accounts, including a set of institutions, agents and individuals each of which stands to make a commercial gain. The article focuses on migrant trafficking, the core of the illegitimate business. Migrant trafficking, a …
European migration report
International migration report
This is the first of what is hoped will be a regular series of articles in New Community addressed to contemporary patterns and trends in international migration. The aim will be to provide a largely factual update on the situation in major world regions, or on specific systematic issues. This report focuses on Europe, principally Western Europe. After a brief comment on data problems, it presents the latest available statistics on trends in stoc…

Migration Processes among the Highly Skilled in Europe
This article seeks to show that the migration process for highly skilled workers in contemporary Europe is part of the structuring of European business. It focuses on the employer's perspective and role in articulating movement, using data from various official sources as well as survey evidence from the United Kingdom. It suggests that the increasing importance of this form of mobility is related to the process of internationalization by large e…
The Future of International Labor Migration
The article reviews the nature of international labor migration today and the economic and political rationale for its occurrence. It suggests that while the developed economies will continue to attract and exchange highly skilled labor, they will have little need for mass immigration by those with low skill levels. In contrast, poorer countries with rapid population growth and low living standards will encourage emigration, except by the highly …

High Level Manpower Movements in Northwest Europe and the Role of Careers
This article works towards a theoretical explanatory framework for analyzing the geographical patterns of labor flows between the industrial countries of Western Europe. The framework proposed is based on the disaggregated nature of the modern labor market, in which specialist skills and training result in a workforce segmented into self-contained noncompeting groups. It is applied to the migration within Northwest Europe of high level manpower, …

A Comparative Overview of International Trends and Types, 1950–80
This article provides a general overview of international migration trends and types during the postwar period. Its thesis is that international migration consists of a set of spatial networks which share many of the processes that create them, but that the networks are characterized by factors which vary geographically and distinguish one from another. Fuller analysis of these requires a systems approach to provide a framework within which to st…

Labour Migration Within Organizations
Using data from a 1970-1971 survey of labor migrant households, the authors examine the impact of local labor markets on inter-urban migration patterns in the United Kingdom. The characteristics and experiences of the migrants are analyzed in an attempt to investigate the geographical migration policies of private organizations and the nature and volume of labor migration within organizations. Suggestions for further research are offered
Post-War Unemployment in Britain
IN the post-war period, geographers have become increasingly concerned with problems of regional development. In particular, there has been much study of the policies for the location of industry adopted by successive Governments. These policies have been operated by the Board of Trade on Ministry of Labour evidence, and their effects on local and regional employment have proved a fruitful field of geographical research. They have involved consid…
Local Manifestations of the Urquhartite Movement
David Urquhart (1805–1877), the inspirer of the agitation that took his name, has been succinctly described as “an ex-diplomatic official who carried his Russuphobia to an almost pathological extreme”. As an official at the British Embassy in Constantinople, Urquhart, whose admiration for the Turks knew no bounds, had tried to engineer a war between Britain and Russia. In his eccentric way he ascribed his subsequent removal from a position of dip…

Recent Trends in the Level and Distribution of Unemployment in Northern Ireland
One of the characteristic features of the Northern Ireland economy has been its high level of unemployment. In common with other economically marginal areas of the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland's unemployment rate has not only been higher than the national average, but in periods of economic recession the number of people out‐of‐work has also tended to rise proportionately more than in the nation as a whole

Carrières et échanges de cerveaux
Les mouvements de travailleurs entre les pays de l'Europe du Nord-Ouest ont beaucoup moins attiré l'attention des chercheurs que les migrations à destination de ces mêmes pays à partir du monde méditerranéen : ce sont des mouvements à plus petite échelle qui concernent des personnes appartenant aux groupes sociaux élevés. Un cadre explicatif pour l'analyse géographique de ces « migrations de cerveaux » est proposé, reposant sur le caractère désar…

La géographie du chômage au Royaume-Uni dans les années 80. En dépit d'un demi-siècle de politique régionale et malgré les fortes croissances récentes du chômage, la localisation des problèmes régionaux majeurs du Royaume-Uni subsiste, bien qu'elle ait subi certaines modifications. Cependant, au cours des dernières années, des pertes d'emploi importantes ne sont plus seulement intervenues dans le nord (sauf le nord de l'Ecosse) et les grandes con…

The Sopemi Experience
The Systeme d'Observation Permanente sur les Migrations (SOPEMI) was established in 1973 to provide the European member states of the organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) with a mechanism for the timely sharing of information on international migration. The core of the SOPEMI has always been a group of national experts who prepare annual reports on the migration situation in their respective countries. A summary of those n…
