Dear Colleagues, 

The innovative aim of this Special Issue is to present key sociolinguistic and social psychological aspects of multilingual behaviour in migratory contexts from any region or community of the world, through a comparative examination of original academic scholarship that may encompass either empirical and/or theoretical approaches.

The challenges for protection for people on the move along the Central and Western Mediterranean routes remain great in both scope and complexity. Extensive political and media attention has been focused on the cross-Mediterranean dimension of these mixed movements,[1] resulting in a lack of dedicated fora and attention for the task of developing strategies to provide protection for persons of concern who do not cross to Europe. This is the case for refugees and migrants in North Africa whose numbers are growing and where there is a growing need to support the management of mixed movements in a sustainable manner. Addressing the drivers of conflict and instability in countries of origin and weak capacities to deliver effective protection in host countries also needs renewed focus. 

OPEN CALL FOR PAPERS 

The Central and Eastern European Migration Review (CEEMR) –a peer-reviewed free-access journal indexed in ESCI Web of Science Core Collection invites submissions of high quality, original articles to increase the journal’s reach and authors’ diversity. The mission of CEEMR is to foster an academic discussion on migration within, to, and from the CEE region. 

The latest UNHRCR (June 2020) Global Trends report suggests that 79.5 million people were displaced at the end of 2019. In other words, 1% of the world’s population is displaced.
