Challenges of Current Societal Transformations
Based on current societal challenges, different theoretical approaches will be discussed outlining the shift from migration to mobility research.

In particular, the qualification to deserve being part of the protected core of modern societies is stratifying our communities and thus determining the value of social cohesion.

A different view on migration societies is therefore needed, able to rethink the present in a dramatic new way.
