Description:	This book focuses on the new challenges in interregional migration research. Currently, the scale of analysis is shifting from a macro to a more micro level. The availability of extensive micro data on individual migrants allows researchers to revisit the role of different migration drivers by population subgroups (e.g. by education and ethnicity) and include life cycle and contextual considerations (e.g. entering education or the labour market, working in growing industries, moving thanks to, or in spite of, existing networks). At the same time, the availability of longer time series and longitudinal data is crucial in studying the role migrants play in promoting regional resilience, for instance in regions hit by the recent economic crisis or by natural disasters; in reducing core-periphery disparities, which is a central issue in economic development studies; and in the longer term effects of Brexit. The aim of the book is to establish the state of the art in interregional migration research and to identify routes forward. It updates and revisits the main academic debates on interregional migration, as well as presenting new emerging lines of investigation and a forward-looking research agenda. It presents original work spanning from in-depth discussion of recent theoretical advances to cutting-edge empirical analyses. This ambitious agenda would have not been possible without the inspiring contributions of world-leading academics who submitted their original work to this book. The editors are grateful for their contributions and look forward to continue shifting research frontiers with them in the decades to come.
