Internal and Transborder Migration:
Recent History and Today's Challenges
With the outset of modernity, industrialization, transport revolution, nationalism, ideologies, environment, world wars and world tourism the relatively low level of Middle Ages internal and transborder migration acknowledged a profound change gradually becoming an issue of high politics. During the 19th century especially social and national reasons turned Southern and Eastern Europe, as well as areas of Africa, Asia and Latin America, into major contributors to world migration thus excelling Western Europe in this respect. This pattern continued unabated over the next century, the world wars, totalitarianism, fierce nationalism and extremist, underdevelopment adding to the causes of emigration and posing a great challenge to world politics. Today, the flow of emigration is mainly from the developing to the developed countries (South – North migration), in this context notions such as brain drain being used in order to encompass the situation of the developing countries that lose skilled working force to the developed nations. Inside the developed nations, too, there are strong complains against immigration which, as the argument goes, affects the traditional values and wellbeing of society. The internal migration, too, is often accused of hindering the development of underdeveloped areas to the advantage of the better-off big cities. In the past, too, the internal migration was driven by modernity, industrialization, transport revolution, nationalism, ideologies, environment, world wars and world tourism.This issue of Valahian Journal of Historical Studies encourages transdisciplinary contributions assessing topics such as:
