Synopsis

Much contemporary social and migration theory posits that the world is becoming more mobile, leading to the recent 'mobilities turn' within the social sciences. Yet, there is mounting evidence to suggest that this may not be true of all types of mobility, nor apply equally to all geographical contexts. Drawing on detailed empirical literature, this book examines the long-term trends in internal migration in more advanced countries and presents a critical assessment of the extent to which global structural forces, as opposed to national context, influence internal migration in the Global North. It will appeal to those working in Geography, Migration Studies, Population Studies and Development Studies.
