Migration: the limits of governmental control.
"The first issue addressed in the present article is why it is so difficult for governments to intervene successfully in migration processes. Within the analytical framework of the article, the point is made that the variables addressed by governmental measures form only a small part of the relevant variables. Addressing these variables effectively is further hampered by the conflicting interests of various economic sectors and by the conflicting roles various administrative institutions have defined for themselves. Finally the article addresses the question of whether a ¿root-cause' approach offers better prospects for the management of migration. This does not appear to be the case at the moment."
