MESOP TODAYS QUOTATION / THE AGE OF MIGRATION

 “We have entered the age of migration. If all the people who live outside the country of their birth united to form their own – a republic of the rootless – it would be the fifth-largest country in the world, with a population of more than 240 million people. Though much has been written about how a world on the move is changing national politics, there has been little consideration of its geopolitical effects. But the mass movement of people is already creating three types of migration superpowers: new colonialists, integrators, and go-betweens,” writes Mark Leonard in Project Syndicate. www.mesop.de
