Abstract:
This review article examines the significance of Ibn Khaldun's Muqaddimah in the context of migration issues. It aims to examine the ideas of Ibn Khaldun's work, the methodology used in the analysis and the main conclusions. In addition, the role of economic geography in improving our understanding of migration is highlighted throughout the article. The study employed a qualitative research methodology by analysing the relevant sections of Ibn Khaldun's work "Muqaddimah" that deal with migration issues. The results of the research showed that Ibn Khaldun's work "Muqaddimah" provides valuable ideas on migration issues. Moreover, the article showed the importance of economic geography as a complement to Ibn Khaldun's work in the study of migration issues. Thus, this review article highlights the continued importance of Ibn Khaldun's Muqaddimah in understanding migration issues. By synthesising historical analysis, socio-political dynamics, economic factors and spatial considerations, this study contributes to the broader debate on migration and highlights the potential of interdisciplinary approaches to deepen our understanding of contemporary migration issues.
