Political globalization and migration
Again, the relative decline of the nation-state over the last three decades does not necessarily mean that governments have become impotent bystanders to the workings of global forces. States can still take significant measures to make their economies more or less attractive to global investors. In addition, they have continued to retain control over education, infrastructure, and foreign policy. Still, the intensifying population movements linked to the form of embodied globalization have challenged some of the most crucial powers of nation-states: immigration control, population registration, and security protocols. The number of international migrants reached 258 million in 2017, with an increase of 85 million since 2000 (see Figure C). With about 3.4 per cent of the world’s population living outside their country of origin, immigration control has become a central issue in most advanced nations. Many governments seek to restrict population flows, particularly those originating in the poor countries of the global South. Even in the United States, significant annual inflows of about 1.2 million legal permanent immigrants during the 2010s are less than the levels recorded during the first two decades of the 20th century.
