This book examines how migration is part of the globalization process and how it needs to be understood in the interests of international peace and security. It discusses areas such as the right of free movement, dealing with forced displacement of refugees and the morality of dealing with refuguees in the context of international law. How should international law approach the critical issue of movement of peoples in the 21st century? This book presents a radical reappraisal of this controversial problem. Challenging present-day ideas of restrictions on freedom of movement and the international structure that controls entry to states, it argues for a new blueprint for international migration policy that eliminates waste, aids both developing and developed societies and brings attendant benefits to voluntary migrants and involuntary refugees alike. In a world of increasing disorder, it is suggested that current policy only adds to international instability and threatens the interests of a functional global community.
