The author addresses one of the most pressing problems of the 20th century -- that of migration. After presenting empirical findings, he deals with the causes of intra- & international migrations. He then offers an outline of feasible perspectives & suggests possible options as countermeasures. The 20th century is characterized by the shift of the regional focal points of migrations. In the first half of the century, international migrations of refugees largely took place in Europe. However, in the second half of the century, the hub of the migrations shifted from the Northern to the Southern hemisphere. One major cause of migrations is war & the accompanying violence. Other important causes are economic hardships, population boom, ecological disasters, & the erosion of traditional values. Judging by the characteristics of the major causes of migrations, it is very unlikely that the situation at the turn of the millennium is going to change significantly. The only thing that international organizations & states can do is to alleviate this problem by creating long-term strategies that might get to the roots of the migration issue. 5 Tables.

Due to the war in Bosnia & Herzegovina, the study of international migrations imposed itself, embracing the study of the migrations of the peoples of the former Yugoslavia & the problems of emigrants from the former East European states. The existing connection between the problem of emigrants & displaced persons, human rights, armed conflicts, lack of development, & immigration are studied within a broader perspective. The data from various states point to certain differences among the emigrants from Central Europe, the territory of the former Yugoslavia & Russia. Adapted from the source document.

Results from this study show that the slowest to move back into their pre-war homes have been the Serbians. More than 70% of the citizens of B&H are ready to return to their homes.

The author claims that the war has triggered major demographic population shifts & led to a dramatic decline in basic civil & human rights. However, the results of the study give rise to some optimism since it has shown that only a tiny percentage of people do not accept B&H as their common state. 9 References.
