Abstract

The migration of peoples to different areas of the world has been important in the development of civilizations throughout history. Movements of people were not only crucial to survival, but also led to the development of new societies, and the dispersion of technologies and cultures.1 Since the development of the nation-states system, migration has taken on new significance. From the forced labour migration of slavery and colonialism to non-coercive labour migrations, the movement of populations as a result of war, and so on, migration has gone hand in hand with the development of contemporary nation-states. As Weiner describes it, the most distinctive feature of the various waves of migration of previous centuries ‘is that they changed the social structures, and especially the ethnic compositions, of both sending and receiving countries’.2 The movement of new peoples and cultures not only added to the productivity of states, it also led to new cultural dynamics, and resulting social structures; ‘in short, migrants create states, and states create migrants’.3
