Migration and Asylum as Structural Outcomes of Global Power Imbalance (Vol. 5)

This volume conceptualizes migration and asylum as structural outcomes of global power asymmetry rather than temporary demographic crises or individual choices. Building on the analytical framework developed across Volumes I–IV, it demonstrates how forced migration emerges from proxy wars, sanctions regimes, authoritarian support structures, and failures of global governance. Through historical comparison and political analysis, the study shows that contemporary asylum pressures in Europe and North America represent delayed consequences of geopolitical decisions rather than failures of migrants themselves. The volume further examines how unmanaged asylum systems, combined with populist scapegoating and far-right narratives, risk transforming displacement into long-term instability. Migration is reframed as a systemic indicator of global disorder and an unresolved moral failure within the international system
