Research on intersectionality has surged, emphasizing how overlapping identities affect migrants' experiences and access to rights, which is crucial for developing more inclusive policies. - Impact of Climate Change on Migration:
Emerging discussions around climate-related human mobility are gaining prominence, reflecting a recognition of environmental factors as significant drivers of migration and the need for legal frameworks to address these challenges. - Digitalization and Migration Control:
The intersection of digital technology and migration control, including the use of AI and data analytics in border management, is becoming a critical area of study, raising questions about privacy, surveillance, and human rights. - Legal Pathways for Refugees:

Declining or Waning
- Focus on Economic Migration:

Discussions surrounding traditional models of refugee protection appear to be waning, as newer frameworks and concepts such as complementary pathways gain traction, reflecting a broader evolution in response to global migration challenges. - Crimmigration Studies:
Although still relevant, the focus on 'crimmigration'—the intersection of immigration and criminal law—has decreased, possibly due to a growing emphasis on human rights and the vulnerabilities faced by migrants.
