Essay competition 2025, collection of essays

The Emerging Perspectives 2025 collection features a curated selection of essays from the Mixed Migration Centre’s (MMC) annual essay competition. This year’s competition invited young researchers, writers, and thinkers from the Global South to explore the critical theme of “migration in the context of geopolitical turmoil”.

Selected from a record-breaking pool of over 500 submissions, the essays in this collection represent the 20 finalists and runners-up. These works offer original, analytical, and deeply personal insights into how shifting global orders, foreign interventions, and economic instability are reshaping human mobility.
