• Sommario/riassunto: In recent years there has developed a satisfactory and coherent theory of orthogonal polynomials in several variables, attached to root systems, and depending on two or more parameters. These polynomials include as special cases: symmetric functions; zonal spherical functions on real and p-adic reductive Lie groups; the Jacobi polynomials of Heckman and Opdam; and the Askey-Wilson polynomials, which themselves include as special or limiting cases all the classical families of orthogonal polynomials in one variable. This book, first published in 2003, is a comprehensive and organised account of the subject aims to provide a unified foundation for this ; theory, to which the author has been a principal contributor. It is an essentially self-contained treatment, accessible to graduate students familiar with root systems and Weyl groups. The first four chapters are preparatory to Chapter V, which is the heart of the book and contains all the main results in full generality.

• Sommario/riassunto: This publication offers policy-makers and administrators a guide for evaluating how labour migration policies work in practice, based on experiences in ASEAN and other parts of the world. It discusses labour market tests, the recruitment process, labour protection for migrant workers, the impacts of migration on destination and origin countries, and difficulties in evaluating labour migration and practical steps national authorities can take. A final section reviews the experience of Malaysia.
