International migration has become a major domestic political issue
in many countries and a major topic of international debate. Thus
far, most of the attention has centered on the plight of refugees
or on ways to curb the flow of illegal immigrants. As more and more
migrants cross interstate boundaries, however, governments are
realizing that immigration and asylum problems cannot be separated
from broader socio-economic and political issues; nor can they be
resolved by countries acting unilaterally. Even with this
understanding, attempts to develop multilateral strategies to ease
international tensions arising from uncontrolled migration will be
complicated by economic disparities, regional political tensions,
and mounting population and ecological pressures. Internal
migration, particularly in terms of forced resettlement and
urbanization, also gives rise to a myriad of problems relating to
aspects of security. The increase in other major population
movements, such as tourism and business travel, also has
implications for security. Until recently, the question "what is
security?" was rarely asked in the context of these developments.
This was because there was a perceived consensus on what the nature
of security was. The nature of security was held to mean national,
political, and military security. Thus security was virtually
synonymous with "defense." The theoretical claim of this volume is
that these developments are necessitating a redefinition of
security. This volume provides major theoretical analyses of these
trends as well as in-depth case studies that explore specific
developments of major concern to scholars and other researchers
involved with international relations, migration, and development
issues.
