When
the
Trilateral
Commission
(TC)
publishes
a
report
on
an
issue, it
usually
means
three
things:
the
analyses
presented
include
the
most
recent
and
detailed
information
available;
the
issue
has
become
a
con-
cern
for
policy-makers,
particularly in
the regions
that
comprise the
Trilateral
membership;
and
no
clear
or
satisfying
solutions
-
in
TC
terms
-
have
been
found
and
implemented.
The
task
of
the reporters
is
to
pro-
pose
neo-liberal
prescriptions
and
solutions.
Their
report
includes these
three
dimensions.
It has
been
put
together
by a
team
of
specialists
and
people
closely
connected
to
institu-
tions
involved
in
migration
issues,
particularly the
United
Nations
High
Commission
for
Refugees.
Secondly,
it
analyses
the extent
to
which
the
current
flows
of
migrants
to
North
America,
the
European Union,
and
Japan
challenge existing
immigration structures
and
social
integration
mechanisms. Added
to
this
is
the concern
with
the
growing
number
of
asylum
claimants
in
the
world. In
this
context, the
Canadian refugee
determination
system
is
seen
as
a
model
to
be
emulated,
for
its
efficiency
and
its
respect
of
the
spirit
of
the
Geneva
Convention.
The
Tc
also
emphasizes
longer-term solutions
to
the
challenges posed
by
migration
through
a
three-fold
strategy.
First,
the
