This essay reviews the insights and questions raised by the foregoing articles in this special issue of the International Migration Review and assesses their theoretical contributions to understanding relations between immigrants and native-born Americans in contemporary processes of incorporation."

It positions these movements within the great transitions experienced by Korea over recent decades: the transition from an agricultural to an industrial and then a tertiary economy; the transition from a rural to an urban society; and the transition to low fertility and mortality. A transition in migration can also be observed from rural to urban and from emigration to immigration. The papers in this issue each illustrate a different facet of Korea’s migration*the importance of internal remittances in the process of urbanisation, the range of destinations in Korea’s diaspora, the different enclave economies and societies around the Pacific rim, ethnic ties and the incorporation of Koreans into the economies of destination areas, the importance of transnational families and whether Korea will ever become a ‘settler’ society are all examined as part of Korea’s local and global migrations. They all demonstrate, in different ways, how Korea’s development into a member of the global economy has interacted with migration to change its volume, direction and composition.

The problem is illustrated by the U.S. government's policy of denying asylum to Haitian refugees. By prejudging Haitians to be “economic migrants,” denying them access to fair hearings of their asylum applications, and deporting them to Haiti, U.S. government officials have deprived Haitian refugees of just treatment. These actions appear to have been motivated by national security interests, particularly the U.S. alliance with the Haitian government against communism. The unjust treatment of Haitians, who were the first large nationality group to seek asylum in the United States, has set a pattern that has been applied to other groups of refugees fleeing persecution by governments allied with the United States. Assuring that the United States would fairly adjudicate asylum applications would require institutional separation of the adjudication process from the management of foreign affairs.

The conference was jointly sponsored by the Committee on International Migration of the Social Science Research Council (SSRC), the Center for Migration and Development (CMD) at Princeton, and this journal. Its purpose was to review recent innovations in this field, both in theory and empirical research, across both sides of the Atlantic. The conference was deliberately organized as a sequel to a similar event convened by the SSRC on Sanibel Island in January 1996 in order to assess the state of international migration studies within the United States from an inter-disciplinary perspective. A selection of articles from that conference was published as a special issue of International Migration Review (Vol. 31, No. 4, Winter), and the full set of articles was published as the Handbook of International Migration: The American Experience (Hirschman, Kasinitz and DeWind, 1999).

In keeping with the focus on public policy, we will examine the ways in which state action affects the adaptation process of immigrant groups and the opportunities for economic mobility and social integration of racial and ethnic minorities. The timing of the seminar this semester coincides with a confrontation of historical proportions concerning future immigration policy in the United States. Through readings and class discussions, we will examine what lies behind the public declarations and legislative proposals of advocates and opponents of continuing immigration.

For those who have advocated for the recognition of transnational migration, this publication is a victory in that it attests to the importance and growing acceptance of a transnational perspective among migration scholars. It is also a challenge because many of the criticisms raised initially by detractors have been quite valid. Making sense of transnational practices and placing them in proper perspective still requires much conceptual, methodological and empirical work.
