Politologija migracija
The Political Science of Migrations

Summary/Abstract: The author approaches the phenomenon of migrations in terms of political science, i.e. as an object of policy analysis. The policy of migration is a sum of measures which a government adopts in relation to foreign labour. Such a policy may base different aims: integration, assimilation, or exclusion, and can be either stimulative or restrictive.The author describes the various participants in the creation of migration policy, areas of research (political participation, human rights, etc), ideological frameworks of policies, and he points in particular to neoconservativism and towards intolerance towards foreigners. The author takes a stand in favour of a development policy approach towards research into contemporary migrations, i.e. he advocates interdisciplinary procedure and the combining of macro and microorientation in political science.
