The complexities of displacement have created massive, mixed flows: refugees, asylum seekers, illegal immigrants, IDPS and other victims of violence, deprivation, hunger.Persecution and discrimination occur together , and the old forms of protection are often inadequate.

This book considers the disparity between economic growth and human development indices that leads to continuous massive human flows.
