1. The Migration-Development Nexus This collection of eleven articles offers a broad state-of-the-art review on the relationsship between migration and development, discussing such issues as remittances, return, conflict situations and livelihood of refugees, and analyses policy options for immigration and development aid. Migration and development are two complex and interrelated issues. While migration is frequently caused by underdevelopment, it may also present a vehicle to foster development and a means of escape from poverty. This collection sheds light on the migration-development nexus seen from many angles, and presents the latest knowledge and research on issues such as migrants' remittances, the development potential of return migration, development questions relating to conflict situations and livelihoods of refugees. Three country studies (Afghanistan, Somalia, Sri Lanka) examine the theories in practice, while some of the articles discuss possible policy options regarding immigration and asylum, development assistance and emergency relief. 2003/Softcover - 317 pages ISBN 92-9068-157-8 US$ 38.00 2. Migración Columbiana en España El fenómeno de la inmigración en España presenta un enorme dinamismo, ampliándose en pocos años el abanico de los países de procedencia y cambiado los colectvos protagonistas en cuanto al volumen de residentes. La presente obra responde al reto que supone para los estudiosos de las migraciones abordar ese dinamismo y ello se hace con referencia a uno de los flujos que han cobrado más relevancia en España : el colectivo colombiano. El estudio ha sido llevado a cabo mediante la colabaración de dos equipos universitarios de investigación pertenecientes a la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid y a la Universidad Pontifica Comillas. Se ha contado con la colaboración inestimable de tres entidades sociales que agrupan a colombianos residentes en España : ACULCO, AESCO y ACOMA. Por último, hay que subrayar que esta investigación no habría sido posible sin el patrocinio y colaboración de la Embajada de Colombia en España, la OIM y la aportación de dos entidades privadas : Money Exchange Ltda. Y Titán.
