Security risks of contemporary migrations

Abstract

Contemporary migrations are featured not only by internal or international movement of people for existential reasons. Nowadays, there are economic migrants, refugees from conflict zones, politically persecuted asylum seekers and ecological migrants. This comes up to be a global problem, often linked to transnational organized crime and terrorism, which certainly has many security implications for contemporary society, the state and the international community. If we take into account the fact that contemporary migrations take on the characteristics of globalism and organization and become increasingly mass, it is clear that the risks and consequences for human, national and international security are multiplied. In this regard, the paper will make a reference to the typology and the effects of the security risks of contemporary migrations.
