Abstract

This chapter proposes policy solutions to the current issues of migration and radicalization. These solutions include integration, a refugee clearinghouse, sharing the burden, reducing global inequality, resolving conflicts and improving human rights. While nothing will ever stop some people from becoming radicals, it is important to note that radicals make up a tiny minority of migrants and that there is a lot more that countries and the world can do to prevent radicalization.
