Greece, GATS

Migration patterns are changing in the Mediterranean region, where people seeking unauthorized entry to the EU may face tighter border controls. Besides looking at the broad strokes of that migration and the adaptation of one country, Greece, this issue provides Greek data and examines new comprehensive immigration reform legislation emerging in Washington. You'll find:

- MPI Associate Policy Analyst Erin Patrick's updated Spotlight on the US Refugee Resettlement Program, which is still undergoing changes in the wake of the September 11 attacks.

- An analysis of the General Agreement in Trade and Services (GATS) by Oonagh Sands of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which tackles the Mode 4 aspect of global trade talks.

- Martin Baldwin-Edwards of Panteion University's in-depth look at the latest trends in migration within the Mediterranean basin.

- A profile of Greece, which has become a receiver of migrants and a permanent immigrant destination, by Charalambos Kasimis of the Agricultural University of Athens and independent researcher Chryssa Kassimi.

- MPI Senior Demographer Elizabeth Grieco provides an update of Greek data.

- An outline of newly proposed US immigration reform legislation, called the Safe, Orderly, Legal Visas and Enforcement Act of 2004 (SOLVE), by MPI's Maia Jachimowicz.
