Understanding Migrant Decisions

Understanding Migrant Decisions

by Belachew Gebrewold (Author), TendayiBloom (Author), Belachew Gebrewold (Author), Tendayi Bloom (Contributor)

Synopsis

Considering how changing conditions in the Mediterranean Region have affected the decisions of those considering migrating from Sub-Saharan Africa to or through the Region, this book represents an important and overdue contribution to international policy-making and academic discourse. In current discussions relating to this migration phenomenon, the complexity of individual decision-making are left unacknowledged and hence subsequent policy responses draw upon simplified models. In this volume, individual decision-making takes central stage by bringing together contributions demonstrating very different types of decision-making frameworks.
