Maybe our children's ability to find and fix a problem by its symptoms will be essential for testing the products of the future.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that migration management presents a far greater security challenge to weak and failing states than to advanced postindustrial states, and that states that are able to formulate and implement migration policies that harness the power of international migration will be more secure, rather than less secure, in the new globalized security environment.
