Abstract
This chapter first introduces the complexity of international migrations by presenting the different dimensions of the phenomenon. It then briefly describes the chapters of the book, which is divided in five parts: 1. migration as an individual trajectory through social space; 2. migration as the focus of the political discourse on identity; 3. migration as a concern for security and territorial sovereignty ; 4. migration as a vector of social transformation; 5. migration as a human rights issue.
