Mass immigration: Problems & Opportunities

By Sir Basil Markesinis

We who live in different countries are we the same or are we different? The author, an academic who has taught in twenty eight universities in three Continents, addresses this question in a light-hearted or, at times, acerbic manner looking at such different topics as character, style, manners, way of speaking and writing, sex, and apparel and reaches a variety of conclusions which may be noteworthy for his earnest attempt to suggest ways to promote understanding, facilitate cohabitation, and suggest workable compromises wherever important divergences are discovered. The author then switches his attention to mass immigrations and is deeply worried by the recent waves of unplanned displacements and the problems they will pose to states, the unprepared and discordant EU and, of course, the unfortunate humans caught up in this unending catastrophe. Such progress that was made in recent decades on this topic in a slow but planned manner may now be destroyed by the magnitude of the present human tsunami. Important issues are discussed in this book rationally but also with humanity by an unusually peripatetic scholar who strives for objectivity especially when discussing serious and painful issues such as wars and the forced displacements of humans they give rise to.
