The Paradigmatic Displacement of Migration

Abstract

The author traverses the complex issues surrounding migration in the context of the current refugee crisis. The author argues that the main reason for migration is the lack of economic diversity, which leads to displacement of local human networks and infrastructure. To cap it all, the study of migration is often limited by assumptions and neglect from liberal democracies, resulting in a lack of understanding about the true impact of migration on global social change. Thus, the author discusses the philosophical grounds of migration, the biopolitics of migration, and the phenomenology of migration, highlighting the challenges faced by immigrants and the structural barriers they encounter. The author also examines the public health implications of migration and argues that policies aimed at reducing discrimination are needed. It takes a call for a deeper understanding of the human experience of migration and a subsequent more humane response to the refugee crisis.
