Transboundary Population Movements: Refugees Environment and Politics

Özet

We are living in a shrinking world. This is the age of faster communication and transportation. It is easier to transport ideas, technological developments, daily events and fınancial means with a tremendous speed. Although only a small percent of the world population are the beneficiaries of the latest technological possibilities, the worldwide developments effect ali the members of humankind. One of the results of globalism is an increase in the gap between haves and have-nots. Not only the faster communication and transportation means are developing but, income gaps, social conflicts, destructive weapons and local wars are also rising. Above ali, the world population grew in large numbers. At the threshold of the new millennium, ali these developments together with the pressure of the new wave of globalism question the role of the classical actors of international relations. As a result of conflicting themes of the new vvorld (dis)order and the conflictual affects of the globalisation, the humankind faces majör challenges interposed with these reverse trends.
