Welcome to the International Migration Institute

International Migration in the 21st Century

International migration is one of the key factors that shape the world in which we live: it plays a central role in global processes of social, economic and political change.

Patterns of international migration are becoming increasingly complex, raising new intellectual and practical challenges for humanity in the 21st century.

People and societies are connected over larger distances, with many countries experiencing simultaneous immigration, emigration, and transit migration.

Moreover, improvements in transport and communications are enabling migrants to develop transnational identities and lives: this challenges existing models of identity, the nation-state and citizenship.

The International Migration Institute

Working with researchers, practitioners and policy-makers in the global South and North, the IMI is committed to developing a long-term and comprehensive perspective on global migration dynamics.

The IMI aims to:

• contribute to the development of new theoretical and methodological approaches to research
• strengthen global capacity for ongoing research in order to keep up with the continually changing process and patterns of human mobility across the world.
