Summary:

"Migration is emerging as one of the defining phenomena of the twenty-first century. By all reasonable predictions, world migration will increase substantially over the next century. Over the coming decades, millions of people will be trying to leave places where they have lived their entire lives to relocate to places like the United States, Germany, Australia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and other rich, industrialized countries in search of safety, more opportunities, and a better life. Like in the past, many will leave because of political upheavals, economic disruptions, and persecution, but more and more will leave because of the new dramatic changes in the world’s climate. These changes in global mobility are unfolding as many countries, even traditional receiving nations, are rethinking their relationship with immigrants, immigration, and multiculturalism. To date, these two competing developments lack a framework that allows academics, practitioners, and educated readers to understand how they intersect and affect our world today. The research encyclopedia will serve as a powerful tool to understand the origins, impact, and evolution of these developments on a global scale. It would also equip readers with an interdisciplinary understanding of migration at the local, national, and global levels. This research encyclopedia will frame immigration globally. By choosing topics and categories that apply globally, readers will learn about these phenomena in a global framework, allowing them to see similarities and differences across borders. This approach will demystify many of the current assumptions about global migrations"-- Home page
