Founded amid debates shaped by the late 20th-century migrations linked to events such as the Vietnam War, the aftermath of the Soviet Union dissolution, and the expansion of the European Union, the journal evolved alongside scholarship on postcolonial movements and globalisation.

Over time the journal responded to policy shifts after incidents including the September 11 attacks, the Syrian Civil War, the enlargement rounds of the European Union enlargement 2004, and crises in the Balkans.
