Transnational Migration and Human Security, 2011 The Migration-Development-Security Nexus Hexagon Series on Human and Environmental Security and Peace Series, Vol. 6

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Truong Thanh-Dam, Gasper Des

Couverture de l’ouvrage Transnational Migration and Human Security
The volume places the migration-development-security nexus in the field of transnational studies. Rather than treating these three categories as self-evident, the essays excavate aspects of power and privilege built into their governing frameworks and conflicting rationales apparent in practices of control. Bringing together diverse experiences and case studies, the volume highlights the problematic nature of maintaining distinct and disconnected frameworks of governance. It argues for a new approach that demonstrates the significance and usefulness of comparative ethics in conceptualising migration from a human-centered and gendered perspective in order to address the multi-facetted and multi-dimensional nature and meanings of "security".
