Globalisation has made countries more interdependent than even before. Three types of flows are considered as the key drivers of the process: international trade of goods and services, foreign direct investments (FDI) and, more, recently migrations. However, despite a rich literature of their determinants and impacts, research on the link between trade, FDI and migration flows has been developed only recently.

This workshop aims to provide a forum to discuss innovative theoretical and empirical research on the relationship between international trade and international migration on the one hand, and between the FDI and the movements of people across borders on the other. The objective is to gather a set of high-quality contributions focusing on those issues in the fields of economics, history, political science, sociology and geography. It is also to give the opportunity to create a research network.
