Descripción
International migrations global transformation. Legal, social and technological perspectives
The book offers an interdisciplinary account of how contemporary mobility is shaped and governed by law, social dynamics, and data driven technologies. Conceived through an international collaboration, it brings together legal analysis, comparative case studies, and evidence based discussion to help readers move beyond fragmented debates and see the field as a coherent whole.
Part I, «Law, Institutions, and Technology in the Face of Contemporary Migration», addresses core legal standards and institutions, climate induced displacement, integration through law in Europe, and the opportunities and risks of algorithmic decision making and open data in migration governance. The chapters connect concrete cases to questions of accountability, the protection of rights, and workable institutional design.
Part II, «Social Dynamics, Global Challenges, and Migration Discourses», examines social narratives and selective humanitarianism in local contexts, how major political traditions frame migration, and a comparative view of irregular migration governance at the southern borders of the European Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The analysis shows recurring patterns of externalization, their social effects, and the legal constraints that matter in practice.
Readers gain two main benefits. First, rigorous yet accessible frameworks to judge policies and technologies by legality, effectiveness, and human dignity. Second, comparative insights that travel across contexts and support research, teaching, advocacy, and public administration. Written in a clear and engaging style, the volume serves scholars and students in law, international relations, and the social sciences, as well as policymakers and practitioners who need practical guidance. It points to realistic pathways toward outcomes that are measurable, lawful, and humane.
