title: Illusions and reality in international migration:  migration and development in post World War II Greece.
abstract: The author analyzes international migration using a case study of Greece, with a focus on the relationship between migration and development in the sending countries.  He supports a view of international migration "as a central component of the international political economy--one whose investigation requires a sensitivity to, and intimacy with, the forces operative in the structure and process of the world economy."  The role of Greek emigration in the areas of relief and unemployment, capital transfers or remittances, and the social realm is considered.  (summary in FRE, SPA)
