International Organization for Migration (IOM) The IOM recently released a report entitled Internal Migration and Development: A Global Perspective, which discusses internal voluntary migration for paid work. The report argues that internal migration can play an important role in poverty reduction and economic development. Policy should instead concern itself with ways of maximizing the potential benefits of migration to the individual concerned and society at large.

Special Issue of IJMS on "Democracy and Power-sharing in Multi-National States" In the many multi-national democracies around the world today, there is increasing evidence for a potential trade-off between democracy and power-sharing. Empirical research on this tension is needed to understand how and why public participation, whether in the form of popular mobilization, direct democracy, or deliberative democracy, threatens elite power-sharing arrangements in multi-national democracies. Research on new states and post-conflict societies is also needed, as these may well require a different combination of democracy and power-sharing than multi-national states with a more peaceful recent past and established boundaries. Finally, a normative reflection on the possibilities for democratic deepening in ethno-plural societies is needed. This would examine collective claims for recognition, while at the same time allowing for elements of direct democracy and deliberation. Papers addressing one of these three questions should be communicated to the guest-editor of the up-coming thematic issue. Papers dealing with non-Western regions or countries are particularly welcome. Submissions should be sent to Prof. Matthijs Bogaards at p.j.m.bogaards@iu-bremen.de. Essays in Philosophy A special issue on “Liberalism, Feminism and Multiculturalism” will be published in January 2006. The deadline for submissions is 15 October 2005.
