Due to the development in transport and communication and increasing

effect of globalization, the world has turned into a global village. People

no more are confined within a state boundary and their mobility have

increased more than ever in this century. It has been a general phenomenon

for anyone to move across their state boundary in search of opportunity for

better life. But at the same time, the rules and regulations adopted by the

states pertaining migration have caused restrictions to people’s movements.

The problems of migrant workers and the refugees have become a great

concern in the international relations. Thus, this course intends to provide

adequate knowledge to the students of International Relations about these

problems.
