sub-Saharan countries:case study Cameroon. Introduction Migration is a natural human reflex as old as humanity. Although a natural reflex it can be effectively argued that some factors have accounted for its pervasive nature in contemporary times. However, with the unprecedented rise of globalization in all its facets, international migration and subsequently brain drain (most frequently from the global south to the north) remain one of those consequences of globalization which cannot be undermined.

that food contact materials having melamine are not as safe as they were once thought of. The migration rate of melamine into food from tableware depends upon the temperature and acidity of the food. Another, important factor that determines the rate of migration of melamine into food is the quality of the melamine ware. Nonetheless, it has been proved that excessive level of melamine in food can cause certain health problems, the most prominent being its effects on kidney. The potential of nephrotoxicity
in the chapters before, defining terms related to migration in a global manner is very challenging.

Drought also contributed to the enforcement of water restrictions in most major cities, to increased electricity prices, and to major bushfire events in 2003 and 2009. At a global scale, Australia’s drought was the main cause of an apparent reversal in water cycle intensification observed in previous years, raising questions about the likelihood of further intensification in future. Droughts and their impacts can be categorized as meteorological, hydrological, agricultural
Introduction to the issue: Environmental migration is not a new phenomenon. Disasters have displaced people in the past and will continue to do so in the future. Climate change will significantly increase the frequency of these events, as well as their resulting in increased migration or human movement within nations as well as across international borders. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change (IPCC) has predicted an increase in frequency and severity of climate related events such as storms

Migration studies would examine patterns migrants would take in an effort to understand which of these factors stimulated their movement. Countries would experience both benefits and costs as a result of immigration as citizens would require or contribute

Other examples can include port where a ship docks in this country after entering our territorial waters from abroad. US v. Okafor ruled that Opening luggage at these borders requires no suspicion
