Abstract:
International migration has appeared frequently in the international security debates recently. However, the conflict and migration relationship is not a new one. At different levels, international migration elicits conflicting interests. This paper discusses the possible building blocks of a conflict perspective in understanding contemporary international migration flows. The emphasis is on the human (in)security rather than the state security. These layers refer to the conflicting interests at the governmental, household and individual levels and the confrontations between the regulating and migrating agents. The four layers of conflict are discussed in relation to the ethnic migrations from Turkey and Iraq. The third layer of conflict is elaborated within the concept of an environment of insecurity which was developed earlier as an analytical tool for understanding international migration.
