Migrations: Governance, Policies, and Rights

Abstract

The increase in migratory flows is a global phenomenon associated with regional instabilities and insecurities, including long-term push factor and other factors related to globalization processes in the economic (the gap between the global South and the global North), political (expectations associated with human rights and democracy practices), demographic (declining population in the North, increasing population in the South) and technological sectors (transport and communication innovations). However, local push factors are extremely important and need to be assessed in order to understand the on-going migration process and its variations. The essays propose new ideas, themes and approaches that speak to the varied field of migration studies, starting from the approach of socio-economics, and moving to politics, legal, and philosophical studies, which can open up visibilities to migration phenomena outside the logic of emergency and improve cooperation on international migration.
