Publisher's Synopsis
During the 2017-2018 Academic Year, Sinderesi School followed its mission to be a think-tank for the Christian discernment of contemporary social challenges, and chose a reasoned investigation of the current overwhelming phenomenon of forced migration. A number of qualified experts analyzed immigration from the philosophical, sociological, political, economic and religious perspectives. Then, five groups of young researchers dedicated themselves to the main aspects of migration: the climate, political economics, the law, health and the family. Their results collected here in this volume, present the scenario where migration is seen on the one hand, as leading to a decline of civilization and amplifying the sense of fear and suspicion among people. On the other hand, migration represents a wonderful opportunity to go beyond exclusive cultures by allowing dialogue to transform the interlocutors and create the possibility of a better society in a responsible solidarity.
