The earth is a closed system for human migration. Within the system all terrestrial areas of the world have been claimed by political states. Except for boundary disputes the universal exclusiveness of these territorial rights means that mankind is divided into political spaces so that one may not migrate to another territory without the receiving-states consent. Furthermore in numerous countries citizens may not even emigrate without governmental consent. These controls mean that extra-territorial migration is now a tightly-controlled flow. Since migration regulations vary in time and space the migration flow is often indirect i.e. migrants may move to countries of second or third choice because the country of their first choice rejects their application. Indirect migration also occurs when an immigrant is dissatisfied with his choice and moves again. Migration models such as Lees and Mangalams do not focus on this type of occurrence (1966; 1970). Zelinsky has hypothesized that there is a mobility transition which parallels the demographic transition (1971). As a result of modernization man becomes increasingly more mobile. A consequence of this is that mobility becomes more complex as the combinations and permutations of movements between countries increases. (excerpt)
