Abstract

This study aims to shed light on the effects and results of forced population migration policy, particularly its economic impact which is considered one of the most significant aspects of this policy throughout different eras, especially during the reign of King Sargon II (721-705 BC). This policy contributed, in general, to the economic growth and prosperity of the kingdom in various sectors (agricultural, commercial, industrial). It facilitated King Sargon's control over regions, cities, and territories to obtain a significant workforce for various projects in agriculture, construction, and to collect wealth and taxes, which supported the economic system and promoted economic life."
