About this book

THE GLOBAL MIGRATION CRISIS examines the turbulence that has been caused by the worldwide increase of migration across national boundaries. Through its global perspective, the book considers the consequences of international migration and refugee flows for both developed and developing countries, focusing on how governments and their citizens define the problems posed by international migrations, including security issues and ethnic conflicts. At the same time, the book also seriously evaluates the concerns of human rights advocates searching for greater global social justice and protecting those who flee persecution, violence, and poverty. Finally, THE GLOBAL MIGRATION CRISIS considers the ways in witch movement of people across national boundaries is changing our understanding of the meaning of sovereignty.
