State Policies and Migration, originally published in 1982, is a comprehensive examination of government actions pertaining to migration. Comprising a collection of analyses, this book explores diverse rural reforms and industrial strategies implemented in eight Latin American and Caribbean countries. The focus of these studies is shaped by the specific context of each country or region, yet they broadly fall into three categories. The first four chapters primarily delve into land reforms, albeit partially. The subsequent two chapters examine general industrialization strategies, considering their influence on urbanization and the efforts made to achieve population redistribution within the ongoing process of industrialization. The third section presents two distinct cases of attempts to alter population distribution in the context of transforming the socio-economic structure. This book holds immense appeal to students of economics, agriculture, history, public policy, and migration studies.
