Abstract
During the last presidential campaign in France, many debates occurred about the immigration and the globalization. Indeed, some of the candidates denounced the danger that the migration was for the employment and the good economic health of the country, because of the globalization which tends to exacerbate the international concurrence. This kind of debates is quite surprising about this country when we know that foreign workers used to help it after the Second World War to rebuild the country.
This example is interesting, because it reflects an evolution of the mentalities about the migration question, and it raise questions about the migration role in the globalized world that we know, because France is a great power, and this behavior is actually revealing of the political debates in the Western Europe.
In this essay, we are going to wonder how really migration contributes and reflects the challenges of globalization. We will try to show in a first part of the migration is reflecting the historical and current evolution of globalization. After that, we will explain how migration is economically contributing to globalization, before talking in a last part of the place of the human in globalization.
