Political instability and aspirations for better economic lives are key triggers for those who opt for regularised or irregularised pathways. Regu lar pathways (often framed as ‘safe migration’), while frequently expensive , offer no guarantee of avoiding precarity or rights abuses—especially as m igration status can shift rapidly. In this context, different forms of prot ection enacted by both state and private actors emerge as key instruments s haping the migration process at all stages. Thus, the policing of migration may be connected to the protection of public health, states may enact poli cies aimed at protecting migrants from exploitation and trafficking, while brokerage processes may transform migrants into commodities that need to be protected. Meanwhile, the investments migrants made in mobility do not alw ays pay off; costly and arbitrary migration and labour policies leave many migrants vulnerable to exploitation, discrimination and abuse. In the worst cases, individuals face arrest, detention, forced repatriation or even dea th, resulting in the complete loss of their migratory investments.\nThis pa nel seeks to focus on a number of still underexplored sites, forms and aspe cts of migration and explore how they are shaped by different logics of pro tection in a broad and open sense. We invite contributions that explore, fo r example, the role of informal brokers in shaping migration trajectories, the impact of digital infrastructures on mobility and surveillance, or the afterlives of migration following deportation or return. We are particularl y interested in papers that engage with the diverse material infrastructure s—terrestrial, maritime and aerial—that shape migratory experiences and pos sibilities. This includes recent conceptual work on how these spatial modal ities condition movement, regulation and temporality in ways that challenge linear or state-centric understandings of migration.
