Events FeedFault-lines in Immigration Policy: The Harvard-Sydney Immigration Summit 2011
22 July 2011
This conference was part of a longer meeting for a range of international scholars, to develop the first large database of immigration and naturalisation policies, the International Migration Policy and Law Analysis Database (IMPALA).

It showcased the recent work or thinking of a range of international scholars, discussing three key areas of immigration policy: skilled migration (and the balance with family migration); refugees and humanitarian flows; and integration, settlement and citizenship.
