“When the extreme becomes normal: rethinking migration governance in times of geopolitical turmoil.”
Have we reached a tipping point in terms of hardline migration policy? Are we at the point of no return? A panel discussion with leading voices – including contributors to this year’s MMR – will explore whether we are witnessing a permanent shift towards the extreme, what tools remain to resist the dehumanisation of migration, and what pathways forward – whether legal, social, or demographic – may still offer alternatives to the normalisation of the extreme.
About the Mixed Migration Review 2025:
This year’s Mixed Migration Review (MMR 2025) examines how migration dynamics are reshaping in response to a context of intensified geopolitical turmoil. Through feature essays, interviews with migrants and migration experts, and more, it documents:
- How political rhetoric is translating into practice, reshaping migration policies and public discourse.
- The paradox of capitalism’s clash with anti-immigration stances – while governments frame migration as an existential threat, it remains a necessity for both migrants and countries that receive them.
- The double-edged impact of technology on migration – from enhanced connectivity to intensified surveillance.
- The impact of development aid cuts and the erosion of multilateral systems on migration dynamics.
Join us on 20 November 2025, from 14:00 to 15:30 CET for the virtual launch We look forward to your participation!
