Description

Global migration has been a driving force behind human progress throughout history. From sparking innovation to spreading ideas and relieving poverty, migrants have played a critical role in shaping our world. This book provides a long-term and global perspective on the implications of international mobility for societies around the world. The authors challenge conventional wisdom about the impact of migration, proposing new approaches for governance that can harness its benefits. They explore how human migration has connected communities across oceans and continents, fueled economies, and enriched social diversity. However, they also highlight misconceptions and fears about migration's long-term contributions and social dynamics that underpin many current policies. By examining the past and present of international migration, this book offers practical recommendations for managing its opportunities while mitigating its risks. A guide to vigorous debate and action, it provides a nuanced understanding of the complex issues surrounding global mobility and its future growth.
