Environmental Migration and Social Inequality de Robert Mcleman

Environmental Migration and Social Inequality: Advances in Global Change Research, cartea 61

Editat de Robert Mcleman, Jeanette Schade, Thomas Faist
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 dec 2015
This book presents contributions from leading international scholars on how environmental migration is both a cause and an outcome of social and economic inequality. It describes recent theoretical, methodological, empirical, and legal developments in the dynamic field of environmental migration research, and includes original research on environmental migration in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, China, Ghana, Haiti, Mexico, and Turkey. The authors consider the implications of sea level rise for small island states and discuss translocality, gender relations, social remittances, and other concepts important for understanding how vulnerability to environmental change leads to mobility, migration, and the creation of immobile, trapped populations. Reflecting leading-edge developments, this book appeals to advanced undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and policymakers.
