"The appearance of this series... is welcomed as a useful antidote to the usually ill-informed debate in both Western Europe and the U.S.... The chapters are well researched, informative and clearly written, and provide a substantial background and stimulating ideas for policy-makers to consider... The authors are to be congratulated on such a comprehensive analysis, and for proposing a more humane and tolerant approach to this issue which has so often lacking." - Labor Focus on Eastern Europe
