Migration and Security

Abstract

This chapter examines the different ways in which migration and security affect each other. It starts by providing an overview of how migration relates to both state and individual security. It then examines the development of different research agendas and theoretical approaches to migration and security. It focuses on three questions that the literature on migration and security has tried to address: (1) how states employ migration in their security and foreign policy; (2) how violent conflicts diffuse via migration; and (3) when and how migration becomes a security issue. The chapter then takes up some emerging issues and controversies in Migration and Security
