uprooting of populations due to wars and other factors;
refugee resettlement; labor migration; the role of
international organizations such as the United Nations and
the European Union in migration issues; immigration and
immigrant policies in the United States and Western Europe;
the role of different agents in migration regulation, the
emergence of immigrant communities; the political impact of
