AbstractThis paper studies long‐term trends and patterns in global refugee migration. We explore the intensity, spread, and distance of refugee migration at a global, regional, and country level between 1951 and 2018. The analysis did not detect a long‐term increase in the global intensity of refugee migration. Primarily depending on levels of conflict, refugee numbers have fluctuated at levels of between 0.1 and 0.3 percent of the world population. Apparent increases in numbers of the globally displaced are driven by the inclusion of populations and countries that were previously excluded from the data. While refugee populations continue to be concentrated in countries with low‐to‐medium income levels, the analysis reveals several geographic shifts in refugee migration. Refugees tend to come from a shrinking number of origin countries and move to an increasing variety of destination countries. This trend seems to reflect a concentration of recurrent conflict cycles in a relatively small number of countries and a parallel increase in the number of safe destinations. Although the vast majority of refugees remain near to origin countries, the average distance between origin and destination countries has increased over time, presumably linked to the greater ease of travel and migration‐facilitating networks.

The article is devoted to analyzing ethnonational reality and expectations in the The article is dedicated to outlining the design, appointment and the reasons for the formation and operationalization of non-party governments in the president-parliamentary countries of Eastern Europe. It was argued that non-party governments in the president-parliamentary countries of Eastern Europe are the governments that are formed and run by the presidents according to their purpose and logic. They both determine the presidentialization and autocratization of political systems and regimes and depend on these factors. It was revealed that non-party governments under the conditions of president-parliamentarism are not technocratic, although different political actors usually defined them as such ones. Instead, non-party governments under president-parliamentarism are pseudo-technocratic, as they cause deformation of the logic of technocratic governance.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to propose a method to support business process architecture and business process design, and present an application to the domain of public hospitals in Chile.Design/methodology/approachThis method is based on the formalization of generic architectures and their internal process structure, proposed in this work as architecture and process patterns, which have been developed at the Master in Business Engineering of the University of Chile and validated empirically in hundreds of Chilean firms from different industries.FindingsThe authors have found that the use of architecture and process patterns accelerates the design of such structures until the last level of detail, providing a good and timely basis for information system design and, in particular, were able to develop comprehensive generic process architecture for public hospitals in two months.Originality/valueThe authors' approach considers explicitly the relationships among the architecture elements and process components, providing a systemic view of the business structure and ensuring the alignment between its elements.

The article is devoted to the problem of managing migration risks in the context of the transformation of the migration situation in the modern world space. The author, noting such transformation features as a reduction in the duration of migration movement, the emergence of "fluid" plastic forms of migration, substantiates the manifestation of migration risks and the need for new approaches to their minimization.

The article analyzes the evolution of cross-country migration processes, as well as the present situation in this sphere. The author comes to the conclusion that a critical mass of problems has been accumulated, which can not be effectively solved in the framework of existing national regulatory regimes. In this connection, to propose the transition to inter-state institutions of migration regulation, the author offers basic directions of concrete actions aimed at their formation.
