"Migration, Citizenship, and Democracy: Contemporary Ethical Challenges"

Global migration is one of the defining issues of our time. In 2017, the number of international immigrants soared to 244 million—11 percent of the total population in the developed regions. Numbers, however, are merely one factor. Other factors are the pace of migration and its character. The changes in the number, composition, and intensity of migration, coupled with profound changes in Western societies, yield one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century.
