Week 1: Chapter 1 'Migration's many faces: the complexity of the problem' (2001) by PeterC. MeilaenderTitle: Toward a theory of immigrationAuthor(s): Peter C. MeilaenderDate: 2001Publisher: PalgravePub place: Basingstoke, New YorkISBN-10: 0312240341Critical ReflectionFrom this chapter I learnt about the need for migration of people and the way it impacts thecountry’s politics and culture. It discusses the reason behind migration of individuals.Itexplained why the countries do not want to include immigrants. There has been explanation onhow every newcomer acts as a burden on the whole economy. There is no single reason whichprevails rather there are many issues which make it difficult for the newcomer to reside in a newnation. It is an introductory chapter which lays the outline of forthcoming chapters and the topicchosen is quite subjective in nature. This chapter has used the word “migration” as an umbrellaterm and the same has been explained with different perspectives.LimitationThe limitations of this chapter would beitslanguage sincethere has beenuseof the first formofpersonwhich is not preferred in the academic writing. This chapter has brought the insightinto issues of identity formation and changing into contemporary multi-ethnic Europe. Thischapter has been a complicated one because it undertook multidisciplinary approach which couldhave led to misunderstandings due to varying definitions of the. So this chapter doesn’t providewith any clarity on this concept rather it gives a brief idea of how differentscholars see it. It alsoshowed how different chapters have used different races to explain the impact of immigration onthe nations in Europe.3| Page
Week 2: International Migration as a Tool in Development Policy: A Passing Phase?Type: ArticleAuthor(s): Ronald SkeldonDate: 2008Volume: 34Issue: 1Page start: 1Page end: 18Web address: http://www.jstor.org.ezproxy.lib.monash.edu.au...Critical ReflectionThis article discusses a few past areas of migration and development for policies and it showshow individuals who migrate can also act as a part of country’s development. This reportcriticallyassessesthree of the key topics which were skilled migration, Diaspora andremittances. By this article, I have understood the role of migration in the development of thecountry. Usuallythe migrants are in minority, in any nation and in case the skilled peopleareconcentrated inthe biggest urban areas then the emigration won’t havehugeimpact on thepoor rural segments where the demand for talent might be the most.The migrationof skilledpeople and the country’s development has been given more importance in the essay and thereforeall three concerns have been discussed. LimitationThis essay is contradictory to the week1’s study because it’s shows how migration is notanymore considered to be negative for the development of the nation. It also discusses that it isimportant that is integration of overseas and internal migration for the development of the nationand people wish to migrate to places only where they see development. This means thatmigrations are basically cost due to countries growth and development. It also states that it isimportant to plan for migration as a result of development in spite of considering it to be thebasis of the development Even though the essay identifies the key challenges which are faceddue to migration, still there has been very less discussion on the ways in which these challengescan be dealt with.4| Page
