ABSTRACT

In the previous chapter, the discussion focused on some of the socio-economic consequences of migration crises on the territories receiving substantial populations of expelled migrants, and to a lesser extent the countries expelling these people. These territories were usually immediate or near neighbours. But this is only part of the picture, for just as migration orders straddle several countries and regions, so do the effects of migration crises. In this chapter I examine the wider ramifications of such migration crises for migration orders and for the making and unmaking of transnational communities.
