Localities in developed countries often enact regulations to deter low-income households from moving in. In developing countries, such restrictions lead to the emergence of informal housing sectors. To deter low-income migrants, localities in developing countries withhold public services to the informal housing sector.

This paper argues how such discursive shifts in the migration and development debate should be primarily seen as part of more general paradigm shifts in so...

We study a dynamic model of ecosystems where an immigration flux assembles the species community and maintains its biodiversity. This framework is particularly relevant for insular ecosystems. Population dynamics is represented either as an individual-based model or as a set of deterministic equations for population abundances. Local extinctions and immigrations balance at a statistically stati...

American immigration policy have ignored the exclusion of those with ‘real’ disabilities, thus implying that these prohibitions were simply ‘common sense’. Baynton demonstrates that the exclusion of the disabled was neither logically necessary nor biologically determined. The book thus provides important new support for two of Baynton’s pathbreaking articles that have been previously published....
