Since the upswing in migration in the late 1980s, net migration for the 15 EU Member States together has not been below 500,000. This article first focuses on trends in international migration (such as migration from former colonies, recruitment of temporary workers, and East-West migration) and special groups of immigrants (such as etnic Germans, asylum seekers, and clandestine migrants). The second part of the article pays attention to immigrant settlement and migration policies, especially focusing on the European Union (trafficking and smuggling of humans, and the integration of migrants on the labour market).  vV.9,n.1dMaio.-Jun. 2001pp.31-49tEuropean Journal on Criminal Policy and ResearchcLondon aMIGRAÇÃO aMUUSbPhilip jP.275
