In many ways, the world wars were one long conflict over those movements and their competitors, followed by a long period of residual conflicts in the form of the Cold War, Korean War and conflicts, Mideast politics, and many other things. What that portends for the future is difficult to say, as this could all swing the other way very rapidly. However, it's hard not to see data like what's presented in this paper, combined with things like inequality and the global displaced persons crisis, and not conclude that something significant is coming worldwide.
