From Egypt to Europe. Globalisation and Migration Across the Mediterranean

How does the process of globalisation relate to the increase of migratory flows from less developed countries to western ones? This book explores the impact of globalisation upon migration from an international political economy perspective, paying particular attention to the dynamics of migration from the Middle East and North Africa area, especially Egypt, to the EU member countries. The theoretical aims of the book are to understand the problem of migration, both legal and illegal, in the context of globalisation, and to assess the relation between globalisation, marginalisation and the EU response to threats of mass immigration from less developed countries.
