The 13th edition of The Migration Conference, hosted by the University of Greenwich in London, UK, in June 2025, once again served as a vital global forum for migration studies. As the executive team members of the conference, we are pleased to confirm that nearly 100 parallel sessions took place. In this selection of papers, we present over 60 concise research contributions that collectively offer a vivid, if often sobering, portrait of contemporary global human mobility. The papers featured herein reaffirm that migration is the defining phenomenon of our era, fundamentally reshaping societies, economies, and legal systems. What emerges most prominently is the growing tension between the legal and policy frameworks designed to regulate mobility and the complex, often spontaneous realities of migrants’ lived experiences. Spanning from Chile to China and Japan to Iceland, the scholarship engaged here confronts this tension directly, calling for a multidisciplinary approach that moves beyond single-lens analysis.
Colombia: Doing Business and Investing in ... Guide Volume 1 Strategic, Practical Information, Regulations, Contacts
This volume explores several notable themes related to foreign affairs in Latin America and the reconfiguration of the power of the different states in the region. It offers insightful historical perspectives for understanding national, regional and global issues from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, from analysis of the traditional "hegemony" of the United States over Latin America through its military, and political influence due to the presence of the European Union, Russia, and China. These views cannot be reduced to a simplistic vision of the dominant and subordinate; rather, they attempt to seek lines of continuity by highlighting traditional interpretations of new scenarios such as regional trading and security blocs. The volume refuses to impose a traditional and uncritical linear historical narrative onto the reader but instead proposes an alternative interpretation of the past and its relation to the present. Finally, the growing importance of international mechanisms in enabling the success of certain Latin American regimes is also highlighted, in particular the influence of regional diffusion through international organizations or other networks.
