Summary / Abstract (Note) | While the phenomenon of migration is as old as humanity, it has been analysed as an economic and political factor only in the last two centuries. Beena Kirad notes that mass migrations in South Asia in the twentieth century substantially altered demographic and cultural characteristics in affected regions. Since the seventies, the large-scale exodus of Afghans into Pakistan has generated ethnic strife, economic problems and a criminalisation of the host society. |
