Global Connections and Emerging Inequalities in Europe: Perspectives on Poverty and Transnational Migration

This book explores connections between poverty and migration in the context of the expansion of neoliberalism in Europe.  The last decade has witnessed a massive movement of people in response to rising inequalities as a result of political changes and economic reforms implemented across the continent.  As people seek new opportunities, movement itself becomes part of the process of generating new inequalities.  The chapters in this volume provide vivid examples of local participation in such global processes.
