Globalization and Migration(s) – A View from Southeast Europe
Globalization and Migration(s) – A View from Southeast Europe

Summary/Abstract: Migration as a quest for better living is a never-ending phenomenon, and millions of migrants, even today, are still on their way to the more developed parts of the world. On the one hand, the question arises whether the phenomenon seems to be slowly changing its former characteristics in the era of the latest globalization processes. On the other hand, migrations for a long time used to be heading from the South to the North and from the East to the West, at least for the last couple of centuries, something that is not the only case anymore. In this paper, the main goal is to analyze: first, the current process and what is new about globalization; second, the latest phenomena of migrations and the individualization of migration; third, the connectedness and interdependence between the two categories, including some of the gains and losses; and fourth, shed more light on migration in Southeast Europe and consequences for the migrant-sending and migrant-receiving countries.
