Titolo:
"Migrazioni e globalizzazione: il caso del Mediterraneo"
In the field of demography,
the globalization processes have led worldwide
to an increasingly emphasized territorial
mobility of populations – i.e. in other terms
to migration phenomena considered in their
multiple aspects – and even the Mediterranean
Basin, indifferently of its definition, does
not escape this fact. In comparison to the
entire globe, this area has an advantage – at
least when considered in its narrow definition
– of not comprising countries at very
low level of economic development and with
traditional demographic assets. Nevertheless,
this area is currently involved – as it is occurring
in the rest of the World as well – in heavy
“South-North” migration inflows that, generally,
transfer populations from countries
(some of which even extra-Mediterranean) at
very low level of economic development and
high demographic growth toward rich countries
living mainly demographic decline and/
or stagnation.
