Mass Migration Issues: Where Interests and Values Collide | Ten Years Hence Lecture Series

In this compelling lecture, David Robinson, former Assistant Secretary of State and U.S. Ambassador to Guyana, explores the complex and pressing topic of mass migration issues. With over three decades of diplomatic experience in conflict zones and developing nations, including Afghanistan, Bosnia, and El Salvador, Ambassador Robinson provides a unique perspective on how global migration patterns intersect with political interests and human values.

As countries around the world grapple with the effects of mass migration, the discussion focuses on the challenges and opportunities that arise when national interests collide with humanitarian responsibilities. Ambassador Robinson delves into the social, economic, and political factors driving migration, and the ethical considerations governments face in responding to displaced populations. With a particular emphasis on how these issues affect global stability, Robinson’s insights shed light on one of the most pressing challenges of our time.

This lecture is part of the Ten Years Hence speaker series, which addresses key global challenges and their long-term impact. The series is sponsored by the Eugene Clark Distinguished Lecture Series Endowment, and this year’s theme, "Is Globalism Dead?" invites thought leaders to explore the future of global cooperation and conflict.

Key discussion points include:

The geopolitical and economic drivers of mass migration
The clash between national interests and humanitarian values in migration policies
The long-term implications of migration on global stability and development
Potential strategies for managing and mitigating the challenges of mass migration issues
This lecture offers valuable insights for policymakers, students, and global citizens interested in understanding the complex dynamics of migration and its broader impact on international relations and humanitarian efforts.
