CLIMATE REFUGEES AS THE NEXT ERA IN GLOBALISATION PROCESS AND THE GROUND FOR RE-SHAPING OF WORLD (DIS)ORDER

In a fast-changing world, the process of globalisation imposes a long-term task: how to maintain or re-shape the existing world (dis)order. The aim of this paper is to point to the emergence of climate refugees in the context of refugee problems in general. The common denominator of all refugees is a risk of disrupting relationships and gradually undermining co-operation among states. This paper, however, emphasises the positive role of refugees in strengthening and revalorising of multiculturalism in the existing societies and states, as well as their contribution to the continuous process of globalisation. The second aim of the paper is to indicate the absence of the full authority of international organisations as decision-making centres. The important question and an acute problem as well, refer to the way in which societies and states, including Serbia, could be preserved as a historical outcome of the emergence of climate refugees who threaten, more than others, to destabilise their social structure.

Keywords: climate refugees, the globalisation process, re-shape the world (dis)order, international organisations, societies, states, Serbia
