CAUSES OF MIGRATORY MOVEMENTS AND OBJECTIVES OF IMMIGRATION POLICIES: REFLECTIONS FOR A FAIRER AND MORE INCLUSIVE MANAGEMENT OF HUMAN MOBILITY

Summary/Abstract: The mass displacement of people takes on a particular significance today as a phenomenon linked to globalisation. Economic inequalities between different countries, armed conflicts, natural disasters, etc., explain to a large extent the tendency of individuals to settle in a place far from their family and emotional environment in search of a future that offers greater possibilities for life development. We can thus identify different causes (both external and internal) that are conducive to current migratory movements.Receiving societies normally view the migratory phenomenon with a certain amount of mistrust, trying to respond to it in a way that does not negatively affect their interests or modify the initial situation too much. Immigration policies often move between attention to the interests of the host society, which it is understood may be violated, and the preservation of the conscience of individuals in the face of the need to provide a humanitarian response to the situation of helplessness experienced by immigrants.
