Naomi Carmon has brought together a group of distinguished scholars from post-industrial countries to discuss changes in immigration flows, their impact on the receiving countries, and alternative policy responses. Experts in sociology, economics, political science, geography and urban planning base their analyses on evidence from USA, Australia, Britain, France and Israel. They examine past experience and analyze the present situation, in which new types of immigrants, in changing circumstances, are creating new patterns of settlement and integration.
