International Migration and Challenges in the Beginning of the Twenty-First Century

Book excerpt: International migration has been subject to many studies, conducted by academics, students, policy makers, and in civil society. As the migration flows continue to increase amongst countries, new dynamics shape international politics, economy, and culture. In this context, the main purpose of this book is to present a contemporary understanding of international migration through an interdisciplinary analysis. The authors investigate migration and its dynamics in different perspectives (cultural, economic, political, judicial, and sociological) by considering the latest changes in the international relations agenda. This book sheds light on different minor aspects of international migration in a critical perspective.
