According to a chapter in a book by Coates and Siavelis (that you were assigned to read in week 10), the contemporary age of migration encompasses six relatively new tendencies. For example, one of these is that immigration is more globalized than it used to be, meaning immigration affects more countries at the same time, and that there are a larger number of immigrant sending countries. Name at least three of the additional new patterns discussed in the reading that characterize the contemporary era of immigration.
Acceptable answers: Acceleration (immigration growing in volume in all major regions) Differentiation (most countries do not have one type of immigration--like labor migration, refugees, and permanent settlers--but a whole range of many types at once) Feminization (in the past, immigration was male dominated, but that is no longer the case) Growing politicization (increasingly affects domestic politics, bilateral and regional relationships, and national security) Proliferation of migration transition (traditional lands of emigration are becoming lands of immigration too--Poland, Spain, Morocco, Mexico, the DR, and Turkey, for example).
