N2 - Forced migration has been a major feature of the 20th and early 21st centuries. It has become a key element in the current process of global social transformation. The lingering dichotomy between economic or voluntary migration and forced migration has forced scholars such as Castles or Van Hear to discuss an existing link between both disciplines. Discussing international migration means talking about different human movements related to diverse factors and motivations. Obviously, these movements imply a series of processes, characteristics, and difficulties, which have given place to a span of terminology to refer to people on the move. As one might have grasped from the former definitions, the main difference between economic/voluntary and forced migrants is usually related to the voluntary or involuntary character of the movement, as well as the existence or absence of external factors, especially those related to violence.
