Aristide Zolberg

Aristide Zolberg was a political scientist and sociologist known for studying migration, refugee movements, and state formation. He examined how migration affects societies and governments, emphasizing the socio-political processes involved in managing population shifts. Zolberg developed theories explaining why people migrate and how countries respond, highlighting the importance of legal and institutional frameworks in shaping migration patterns. His work provides a deeper understanding of migration as a complex, dynamic aspect of social and political change, rather than just individual movement, influencing policies on refugee protection and immigration.
