Transboundary Population Movements: Refugees Environment and Politics

Öz

We are living in a shrinking world. This is the age of faster
communication and transportation. It is easier to transport ideas,
technological developments, daily events and fınancial means with
a tremendous speed. Although only a small percent of the world
population are the beneficiaries of the latest technological
possibilities, the worldwide developments effect ali the members of
humankind. One of the results of globalism is an increase in the
gap between haves and have-nots. Not only the faster
communication and transportation means are developing but,
income gaps, social conflicts, destructive weapons and local wars
are also rising. Above ali, the world population grew in large
numbers. At the threshold of the new millennium, ali these
developments together with the pressure of the new wave of
globalism question the role of the classical actors of international
relations. As a result of conflicting themes of the new vvorld
(dis)order and the conflictual affects of the globalisation, the
humankind faces majör challenges interposed with these reverse
trends.
