7月31日，由上海大学亚洲人口研究中心特聘教授朱宇和兼职教授澳大利亚昆士兰大学昆士兰人口研究中心学者Martin Bell, Aude Bernard, Elin Charles-Edwards领衔主编，来自中国、蒙古、韩国、日本、柬埔寨、缅甸、泰国、印度、不丹、尼泊尔、斯里兰卡、伊朗、以色列、亚美尼亚、哈萨克斯坦等十五个国家的学者通力合作的成果《Internal Migration in Countries of Asia: A Cross-national Comparison (亚洲国家国内人口迁移的跨国比较研究)》近日在Spinger付梓问世。
该书是亚洲人口研究中心IMAGE-ASIA项目的成果之一，系统探讨了不同亚洲国家在国内人口迁移上表现出的不同空间模式及其成因。
This book explores how population mobility varies among the countries of Asia. While much attention has been given to international migration, movement within countries is numerically much more significant. Coupling innovative methods developed in the global IMAGE project with the contextual knowledge of experts on 15 Asian countries, the book measures and explains how people across Asia differ in the probability of changing residence, the ages at which they move, and the impact of these migrations on the distribution of human settlement within each country. It demonstrates how stage of economic development, coupled with historical events, local contingencies, cultural norms, political frameworks, and the physical environment shape human migration. By using rigorous statistics in a robust comparative framework, this book provides a clear understanding of contemporary migration in Asia for students and academics, and a valuable resource for policy-makers and planners in Asia and beyond.

About the Author
Martin Bellis Adjunct Professor at the Asian Demographic Research Institute, Shanghai University, and Emeritus Professor at The University of Queensland. With expertise spanning demography and population geography, his interests focuses on the analysis of population mobility and internal migration. He led the global team that undertook theIMAGEprogram (International Migration Around the GlobE) which developed the conceptual and methodological foundations on which the project reported in this volume is based.
Aude Bernardis Adjunct Research Fellow at the Asian Demographic Research Institute, Shanghai University and Lecturer at the Queensland Centre for Population Research, The University of Queensland. She has made scholarly contributions to the comparative analysis of migration by developing innovative methods of analysis, including age and cohort measures of migration, and proposing new conceptual approaches to understanding migration.
Elin Charles-EdwardsAdjunct Research Fellow at the Asian Demographic Research Institute, Shanghai University and Senior Lecturer at the Queensland Centre for Population Research, The University of Queensland. Her research explores migration, mobility and the ways in which populations vary over space and time. Research interests include temporary population mobility and its estimation, internal migration, and applied demography for planning.
Yu Zhuis Professor at the Asian Demographic Research Institute, Shanghai University in China, and leading the pillar on internal migration and urbanization of the Institute. He is also Professor at the School of Geography, and Director of the Center for Population and Development Research, Fujian Normal University in China. His research straddles the disciplines of demography and human geography, focusing on issues relating to migration and urbanization.
