Ausländerfrei! The Hoyerswerda Pogrom, 1991
T he main force driving German politics today is immigration and the resulting large foreign-born and native-born population of immigrant origin.With the flourishing of the nativist-populist Alternativ fr Deutschland (Alternative for Germany, AfD), the groveling to it, last year, of the venerable Christlich Demokratische Union (Christian Democratic Union, CDU) and the shambolic, bumbling start to Friedrich Merz's CDU chancellorship, Germany has e…
JosephChamieBirths, Deaths, Migrations, and Other Important Population Matters
This book represents a collection of 135 essays—essentially blogs—published on internet websites over the past 20 years by Joseph Chamie, former director of the United Nations Population Division and subsequently research director of the Center for Migration Studies and editor of International Migration Review, now retired. The websites are YaleGlobal (https://yaleglobal.yale.edu, now lamentably defunct, but archived), Inter Press Service (http:/…
Covid‐19
In the first chapter of Homer's Iliad, an angry Apollo rains down a plague upon the Greeks to avenge the mistreated daughter of one of his favorite priests.Infectious disease has always been the stuff of great narratives that accompany it-Thucydides' History (ca.430-400 BCE, excerpted in the June issue of this journal), the introduction to Boccaccio's Decameron (1348-1353), Pepys' Diary (1664), Defoe's Journal of the Plague Year (1722), Poe's Mas…
Once Upon a Time in Germany
This book—Hostile Takeover: How Islam Hinders Progress and Threatens Society—was not released; it escaped last summer (August 2018) in a hail of lawsuits when Random House, one of whose imprints owned the rights, balked at its publication on account of the manuscript's raving disparagement of Islam and its Muslim believers. In the end, the book was bought by a Munich financial publishing house which laughed all the way to the bank as Feindliche Ü…
RobinWilsonMeeting the Challenge of Diversity in EuropeCheltenham, UK and Northampton, Massachusetts
This book is a wide-ranging effort to engage national, ethnic, and religious diversity in Europe. The author is polyvalent: academic, journalist, experienced player in the Northern Ireland reconciliation process, and senior consultant to the Strasbourg-based Council of Europe (CoE). The book commences with a call for a post-normal, non-positivist approach to diversity. The author is to be complimented on the rich fabric he weaves from economics, …
French Immigration—Demography Meets Politics
This book will attract no more than a few dozen Anglophone readers, which is why it deserves an extended treatment in English here, particularly for the benefit of the American reader. The parallels between France as described by the author and America in the Age of Trump—marginalization of science, politicization of research, de-legitimation of official statistics, denial of reality, appointment of foxes to direct henhouses, delusional policy go…
PabloYanguasWhy We Lie About AidLondon
Development aid is so riddled with contradictions, controversies, equivocation, and hypocrisy that almost any critique, left or right, is welcome-as is this one. The basic argument presented here is that development is a transformational process that requires institutional change. As such, it creates winners and losers. Therefore, only a political understanding of the development process and an approach to supporting it rooted in political analys…
DavidHenleyAsia‐Africa Development Divergence
This is an insightful book comparing the development trajectories of Indonesia and Nigeria, Malaysia and Kenya, and Vietnam and Tanzania. It grew out of a Netherlands-funded development research project. The author, an Indonesianist and geographer, teaches at the University of Leiden. Two of the greatest (and perhaps least-anticipated) economic events of the last two generations have been the rise of Southeast Asia and the failure of sub-Saharan …
La République islamique de France? A Review Essay
The most pressing global population issue today is Europe's demographic future. For that reason, readers of this journal should take note of the French novel of the year for 2015: Michel Houellebecq's Soumission, published in February and released in English translation in September. The meaning of Islam in Arabic is submission. Set against the background of the refugee crisis, anti-immigrant backlash, implosion of the European Union, and rise of…
AndrzejKlimczukEconomic Foundations for Creative Ageing Policy, Volume 1
The book, largely theoretical and didactic, is an outgrowth of doctoral studies in Poland and builds on the author's experience as a policy advisor at national and European levels. It aims to synthesize social construction approaches to aging with those of economics and social gerontology. The author draws artfully, along the way, from geography and planning. The bibliography is a pleasure to skim, reviving some likely forgotten items from decade…
David G.TroyanskyAging in World HistoryNew York and London
This slim entry in the Routledge Themes in World History series is a gazetteer of the aging landscape, summarizing and to some extent synthesizing literature from history, sociology, demography, economics, philosophy, religion, and medicine. It succeeds in combining the individual and social perspectives, is global in scope, and gives pre-modern populations as much emphasis as modern ones. Primitive society esteemed old age (for one thing, there …
GøstaEsping-AndersenFamilies in the 21st CenturyStockholm
This slim volume represents a distillation of work by Esping-Andersen, and others, some of which has appeared in this journal, on the Western family and gender roles. Two theories, one from economics and one from sociology, predicted the inexorable decline of the Western traditional family. The neoclassical (and very Anglo-American) theory saw marriage and the household as a matter of male-female comparative advantage, conditional on the structur…

Captain George Henry Lane-Fox Pitt-Rivers and the Prehistory of the IUSSP
Captain George Henry Lane-Fox Pitt-Rivers, Secretary General of the International Union for the Scientific Investigation of Population Problems (IUSIPP, 1928-ca. 1942), the precursor of today's International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP, 1947-present), was a central figure in population science during the 1930s. With his pro-Nazi activism, anti-Semitism, Red-baiting, and failure to leave any intellectual mark of consequence…

Global public goods and the global health agenda
The 'global public good' (GPG) concept has gained increasing attention, in health as well as development circles. However, it has suffered in finding currency as a general tool for global resource mobilisation, and is at risk of being attached to almost anything promoting development. This overstretches and devalues the validity and usefulness of the concept. This paper first defines GPGs and describes the policy challenge that they pose. Second,…
Pandemic Influenza
This essay, written ten years after the first human death from avian influenza, reviews scientific, social, and policy aspects of pandemic influenza, and asks whether the near‐crisis level of concern is justified. That there will be another influenza pandemic is certain, and a number of factors suggest it will occur sooner rather than later. It is impossible, however, to predict two of the pandemic's crucial characteristics—its pathogenicity and …

Priorities in Global Assistance for Health, Aids, and Population
This article makes three points regarding international assistance in health, AIDS, and population. First, despite growing attention in the development policy dialogue, the share of health (broadly considered) in total assistance is actually declining, not increasing, if assistance for the HIV/AIDS crisis is taken out of the picture. Second, interventions financed by international health assistance do not closely correspond to the burden of disea…

Population Ageing in Japan
During the next fifty years, the absolute number of elderly in Japan will increase while the absolute number of children and persons in the working age groups will decline. The main cause of this demographic trend is low fertility, which can in turn be traced mostly to delayed and foregone marriages. Absent policy measures and sociocultural change to reduce young women's opportunity costs of marriage and childbearing, it is difficult to imagine t…
