Migration and Development is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality empirical and theoretical original research and review articles pertaining to all domains of Migration. The journal publishes scholarly articles that address the migration discourse as well as advance the discussions on migration-related policies both on a global and national scale.
Ever since its inception in 2012, the journal has had tremendous success in attracting newer ideas, scholars and several excellent contributions. The wide-ranging contributions from researchers and scholars around the world have helped build the journal’s popularity among the global migration research community over the years. These articles bring to the fore the multidimensionality of the migration phenomenon, as seen from different regional and national contexts. The journal has played an integral role in deepening discussions regarding human mobility at an international level. The articles in the journal are thus reflective of some of the current trends in global migration policy and is truly representative in all its sense. The journal publishes two issues every year and provides a platform for academicians, policymakers, NGOs, researchers and other stakeholders interested in Migration to exchange and share empirical findings on various facets of migration governance. Apart from migration, remittances and other nuances of migrant lives that have been of significant importance to both sending and receiving countries, the rising refugee crisis, challenges in migration and return migration in a post covid world, including climate change-induced displacement are also important points of discussion in the journal.
The Migration and Development Journal started in 2012. The journal publishes high-quality empirical and theoretical research and review articles pertaining to all domains of Migration and it follows an anonymized peer-review process. Migration & Development invites contributions to highlight the various facets of internal and international migration beyond the conventional lines such as the migration-development nexus, to borderless migration, refugees, return migration, diaspora, labour laws, and policy changes.
The journal aims to broaden the understanding of different types of migration, official and unauthorized, and their contribution to the demographic, political, cultural, and economic changes both in the countries of origin and destination among individuals, communities, economy and society. It also aims to understand the economic implications of remittances and their social and psychological costs on different segments of the population such as women, children and eldery and it also explore cross-border migration with respect to its processes, magnitudes and implications. The journal aims to continue to increase its contribution towards policy-focused discussions on pertinent issues related to migration. The journal caters to students, researchers, educational professionals, and policymakers involved in the field of migration and related disciplines. The journal will enable a global platform for discussion on the Migration discourse and will focus on building a space for spirited conversations regarding other broader topics including climate change, war, health and gender that directly or indirectly impact the course of migration.
