Contributor(s): Jaiswal, Pramod.
Publisher: New Delhi Adroit Publishers, 2018Description: xix, 176p.ISBN: 978-81-87393-62-7.Subject(s): Human Rights Human Security -- Migration-South Asia -- IndiaDDC classification: 325.0954 Summary: Migration and security have been widely studied in international relations and political science. Migration is often presented as a threat to national sovereignty, state security as well as to the economic, social and cultural well–being. On security, all of the attention has been on national security, terrorism, extremism and crime. Hence, there is an alternative concept, human security, which emphasizes that the government's responsibility is not only to protect the territorial security and sovereign integrity of the state, but also the freedom and rights of its citizens. Thus, the notion of human security provides an opportunity to broaden our understanding of the economic, social and political challenges associated with migration, from the place of origin to transit, arrival and (re)settlement in a new location. South Asia homes about one-fourth of the world's population, making it both the most populous and the most densely populated geographical region in the world. This region has witnessed mass migration as many of the countries have emerged through the partition. Millions migrated between India and Pakistan and thousands during the formation of Bangladesh, ethnic conflict of Sri Lanka, Maoist Movement in Nepal and ethnic conflict of Bhutan.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |

Migration and security have been widely studied in international
relations and political science. Migration is often presented as a
threat to national sovereignty, state security as well as to the
economic, social and cultural well–being. On security, all of the
attention has been on national security, terrorism, extremism and
crime. Hence, there is an alternative concept, human security, which
emphasizes that the government's responsibility is not only to
protect the territorial security and sovereign integrity of the state, but
also the freedom and rights of its citizens. Thus, the notion of human
security provides an opportunity to broaden our understanding of the
economic, social and political challenges associated with migration,
from the place of origin to transit, arrival and (re)settlement in a new
location. South Asia homes about one-fourth of the world's
population, making it both the most populous and the most densely
populated geographical region in the world. This region has
witnessed mass migration as many of the countries have emerged
through the partition. Millions migrated between India and Pakistan
and thousands during the formation of Bangladesh, ethnic conflict of
Sri Lanka, Maoist Movement in Nepal and ethnic conflict of Bhutan.
