مسألة الهجرة السياسة والاقتصاد وفشل أمن الحدود

A comprehensive study of a controversial phenomenon: migration to Europe and America, its social and economic impacts, and the enduring political efforts to stop the inevitable. This reference book offers a new perspective on international migration, providing critical answers to big questions and debunking common myths surrounding one of the most prominent issues of contemporary global politics. Who are these immigrants? Are they stealing our jobs? Can we help them in their home countries? Do border controls improve security? Are open borders desirable? Leila Simona Talani and Mathilde Rosina address these and other issues in their in-depth study of migration to both Europe and the United States. When assessing the impact of globalization on international migration, researchers conclude that it is almost impossible to stop current flows from the Global South to the North. In this context, policies designed to control, limit or deter migration only transform some or all regular migrants into irregular migrants, increasing insecurity for citizens of the receiving state, and criminalizing migrants. Through empirical research including original surveys and interviews, Talani and Rosina conclusively demonstrate that the only solution to this short-lived world of security politicization and criminalization is for the Global North to open its doors to the migrants who do, and inevitably, come – especially since the evidence shows that legalizing migration is a win-win game for everyone, in economic, social and security terms.
