The session aims to address the profound transformations in migration dynamics and governance in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, escalating geopolitical conflicts, and intensified migration controls worldwide. These uncertain times have disrupted traditional migration patterns while also deepening the complexities of migrant trajectories, reshaping governance frameworks, and amplifying public debates around migration. The session seeks to unpack these intertwined processes by examining how intersecting drivers—ranging from economic inequalities and climate change to political instability—are reshaping global mobility.
