On the one hand, the extensity, intensity and velocity of the current form of globalization amplified the role of globalization in the migrations and movements of people, and consequently amplified the centrality of the migrations and movements of people in our contemporary world. On the other hand, in spite of globalization: (i) migration is a problematic phenomenon, and (ii) Africans remain ?outsiders? in Europe, and Africans from some African states remain ?outsiders? in other African states. Understanding (i) and (ii) is crucial to understanding the current plight of African migrants. Taking his cue from Alexander Wendt?s (1992) social constructivist argument that ?anarchy is what states make of it?, Frank Abumere shows how and why the problem of identity, rather than the problem of securitization, is the fundamental problem when dealing with the problem of migration. Frank Aragbonfoh Abumere is a philosopher and political scientist specializing in ethics, political philosophy, political theory, International Relations and African/Africana studies. He is currently a visiting assistant professor at Clark Atlanta University and a member of The Abuja School (TAS). 410 0$aPolitical Science and International Studies 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects 606 $aEmigration and immigration$xGovernment policy 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government 606 $aPolitics and International Studies 606 $aSociology of Migration 606 $aMigration Policy 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aAfrican Politics 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aEmigration and immigration$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aAfrica$xPolitics and government. 615 14$aPolitics and International Studies. 615 24$aSociology of Migration. 615 24$aMigration Policy. 615 24$aGlobalization. 615 24$aAfrican Politics. 676 $a320 700 $aAbumere$b Frank Aragbonfoh$01252139 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9911039313603321 996 $aAfrican Migrants in Africa and Europe$94454457 997 $aUNINA
