The year 2022 was a turning point in the history of Europe, a year of geopolitical crises, extremes, excesses, a test of solidarity and humanitarian aid. When the European economies were showing the first signs of economic recovery, after the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia launched a war of aggression against Ukraine, plunging the continent into the worst energy crisis since the 1970s, leading to a rise in prices and food insecurity around the world. Many voices even announced the possibility of a Third World War.

In this complicated European context, the volume Migration Dynamics and New Trends in European (In)Security – Old Challenges in a Changing World highlights, through a multidisciplinary approach, the interconnected relation between migration, security, economics and politics. The book offers a dynamic perspective on European migration patterns, defence and security policy, the integration process of Ukrainian refugees, the European enlargement policy, societal security and international legislation.
