Abstract
Global conditions shape international migrations by determining the dispositions of individuals toward movement as well as of the states in which they live or seek to enter toward potential population flows. The paper focuses on the policy responses of states in three historical periods, the early modern, the XlXth century, and the contemporary, with special emphasis on the role of western states in patterning labor migrations and refugee flows. An attempt is made to account for the shift from a trend toward liberal exit and entry policies in the XlXth century to one involving highly restrictive entry policies on the part of potential receiving states, and a combination of restrictive exit with forced departure in other parts of the XXth century world.
