Abstract

That migration represents an increasingly hot challenge in a globalised world should not be surprising. What is of increasing interest, though, are the linkages that relate migration to a broadly intended concept of security. As a matter of fact, as migration is a multi-faceted phenomenon, so are the possible ways through which it impacts an extended security understanding. Hence, migration can directly threaten security; it can be a by-product of security challenges and finally, it can be a vehicle for new threats to security. This article delves into each of these linkages with the help of theoretical argumentations and examples from the ongoing reality.
