About this Research Topic
In today's interconnected world, migration stands as a critical aspect of international relations, growing ever more prominent with the advancement of communication technologies that have shrunk distances and enhanced information exchange. This integration, coupled with pursuits for better opportunities and the need to escape adverse conditions, has led to a pronounced intermingling of cultures and identities. However, this blend has also stirred significant socio-economic and political dynamics, contributing to contemporary conflicts between immigrants and local populations, making the study of global migration patterns increasingly important.
This research topic aims to investigate the complex interrelations of migration, identity, and citizenship, and how these elements influence global and local conflicts. It seeks to uncover both explicit and latent dimensions of these conflicts, prompted by cultural differences, economic competitions, and political strategies that manipulate migration narratives. Through this exploration, the research will attempt to provide insights into how these multifaceted tensions can be understood and potentially resolved, offering an empirical and theoretical understanding that could illuminate future policy decisions.
To gather further insights on these interactions, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
• migration and a "clash of civilizations" in the globalized world
• the weaponization of immigration through the politics of indigenization, identity, and belonging
• citizenship and dual nationality in a globalized context
• global citizenship and alliances between civilizations
• demographic changes, labor shortages, and migration policies.
