description: International migration is one of the top policy problems for European governments in the 1990s as the number of asylum-seekers continues to escalate. Governments' attempts to respond to new migration pressures whie simultaneously trying to abolish internal border controls have brought European migration policies to a critical crossroad. The author argues that only when policy-makers recognize the reality of migration as a continuing process, can more effective and sustainable policies begin to be developed.
