The findings of the UN International Migration Report 2002, which provides an overview of international migration levels, trends & policies, indicate that 175 million persons (about 3 percent of the world population) are currently living in a country other than where they were born. Sixty percent of these migrants are living in more developed regions with the greatest number living in Europe (56 million), Asia (50 million), & North America (41 million). The four countries with the highest proportion of migrants are the United Arab Emirates (74 percent), Kuwait (58 percent), Jordan (40 percent), & Israel (37 percent). Growing concerns about the economic, social, & political impact of immigration has led developed countries to enact more restrictive policies & many developing countries are moving in the same direction. International conventions & protocols that have been developed to protect migrants are reviewed. Although migration information remains incomplete & often inaccurate, the UN is facilitating a dialogue among nations in order to develop efficient capacities to deal with challenges related to international migration.

Argues that microanalytic & macroanalytic migration theories both tend to ignore the political dimension of international migrations. A political perspective approach to migration issues is offered that incorporates some of the most useful aspects of micro- & macro- theories by emphasizing the transfer of jurisdiction as the constitutive element of international migrations. International migration is viewed as a "deviance from the prevailing norm of social organization at the world level." It is suggested that international migration can best be understood as a social phenomenon that includes tension between the preferences of individuals & the interests of societies. Any thorough evaluation of the costs & benefits of migration requires an examination of both individual & collective accounts. The analytical ramifications of the political perspective are pointed out, noting that it is also an effective framework for analyzing the behavior of societies. The implications of the conflict between the freedom to leave deprived regions of the world & the freedom of more fortunate countries to preserve their favorable endowment by restricting entry are discussed.

In honour of all the workers everywhere who fought and fight for our right to a dignified existence and our right to be lazy! I translate the recited introduction and the lyrics: "Tango also […]

"This paper attempts to assess international regimes and some of the problems that appear with them, namely environmental regimes and security regimes. The paper assesses these problems through prisms of two of the major theories of international relations: Realism and Liberalism. It looks into aspects such as how these theories differ in comparison, while addressing the issues under discussion? First and foremost, what are international regimes and how do we categorize them? Analyzing the task of international regimes and explaining to some extent the significance of international environmental and security regimes for today's world is the subject of this paper."
