Migration in a world of turmoil
Veranstaltungsort
Global economic recession and political turmoil in countries such as Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, Malawi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, among others, have over the last two decades brought about significant instability at all three major boundary levels: nationally, regionally, and globally.
This instability now constitutes the most contemporary push factors that are responsible for forced migration. The first set of factors is viewed through the violent contestations and its multiple effects. Fresh insights are required into the push factors of the second decade in the 21st century; and the ways in which regional political establishments, state governments, and local populations are seeking to make their pull factors less attractive to potential migrants.
