King begins by examining the long-term trends in migration, showing how the volume and direction of migration have changed over time. He then explores the different types of migration, including forced migration (such as slavery and exile) and voluntary migration (such as labor migration and family reunification).

King also examines the impact of migration on both sending and receiving countries. He shows how migration can contribute to economic growth, social change, and political conflict. He also discusses the challenges that migrants face, such as discrimination, xenophobia, and social exclusion.

World Migrations in the Second Millennium is a timely and important book that sheds new light on one of the most pressing issues facing our world today. King's comprehensive analysis provides a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the causes and consequences of migration.
