The year 1995 marks the publication of a book, ‘Global Migration Crisis: Challenge to States and to Human Rights’ (Weiner 1995). Its title alone is emblematic of the
reasons for which it has already been argued (Bello 2017a) that the current migration crisis is neither new nor isolated as a phenomenon. It is rather one among a series of scattered inflamed reactions to recurrent massive movements of people. Hence, we understand global migration crises as socially constructed scattered inflamed reactions that have been happening since the end of Cold War, as a consequence of forced movements of people that a variety of conflicts and instabilities have produced across the planet.
