Définition

  • While human beings have migrated across the planet in large numbers for millennia, political concerns about immigration arose following the emergence of the modern nation-state, which increasingly desired to define its territorial boundaries, regulate who entered, and conscript and tax citizens. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, enormous population movements became a salient global phenomenon. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Political Science; Mass Immigration]
