Wars, instability, poverty, and desperation mean that forced migration and human displacement touch every corner of the globe, including the U.S. southern border. How can liberal democracies like the United States balance the need for security with their commitment to protecting the human rights of refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants? In this program, Professor Hollifield will provide an overview of the global migration crisis and address the dilemmas of migration governance.
