2024 has been a landmark year for migration and politics, with nearly half the world’s population heading to the polls in over 80 countries. From the most powerful and populous to the most fragile countries, migration has been a central issue in many of these elections, often with profound consequences for migrants.
The Mixed Migration Review (MMR) 2024 dives into the politics of mixed migration and the salience of migration issues in politics.
How is migration instrumentalized both domestically and internationally? In what ways do rising populist movements rely on maintaining migration as a perceived threat? What role does modern media play in shaping migration narratives? How do governments balance restricting asylum and migration with the growing demand for migrant labour?
Through critical essays, interviews with global and regional experts, thematic snapshots and personal migrant stories, the Mixed Migration Review explores these issues and more.
As always, the Mixed Migration Review also documents the best and worst behaviour by authorities in relation to mixed migration in the annual “Resisting and Normalising the Extreme” features.
Join us on 5 December 2024, from 14:00 to 15:30 CET for the virtual launch of the Mixed Migration Review 2024. The event will feature engaging discussions with experts, journalists, and academics. Further details on the agenda will be available in October. We look forward to your participation!
