This topical collection aims to provide an update on developments in the migration security nexus, firmly establishing migration flows and immigrant populations as falling primarily within the realm of security. Adopting a pluralistic methodological approach, the contributions—which cover European countries such as Germany, France, Luxembourg and Malta, as well as Denmark, and countries in the Global South such as Tuvalu—help outline the contours of the securitisation process of migration. This process involves the institutionalisation and intensification of areas already covered by security, as well as the application of security principles to other areas, such as development aid, humanitarian aid and climate migration. The topical collection also explores the unexpected and undesirable consequences of security policies.
