Various data sources are deployed to chronicle five phases of migration affecting the continent over the period 1945&ndash;2015: immediate postwar migrations of resettlement, the mass migration of &lsquo;guestworkers&rsquo;, the phase of economic restructuring and family reunion, asylum-seeking and irregular migration, and the more diverse dynamics unfolding in an enlarged European Union post-2004, not forgetting the spatially variable impact of the 2008 economic crisis. In recent years, in a scenario of rising migration globally, there has been an increase in intra-European migration compared to immigration from outside the continent. However, this may prove to be temporary given the convergence of economic indicators between &lsquo;East&rsquo; and &lsquo;West&rsquo; within the EU and the European Economic Area, and that ongoing population pressures from the global South, especially Africa, may intensify. Managing these pressures will be a major challenge from the perspective of a demographically shrinking Europe.</p>10aEurope; phases of migration; political events; asylum-seekers and refugees; migration policy1 aKing, Russell1 aOkólski, Marek  uhttps://www.ceemr.uw.edu.pl/content/diverse-fragile-and-fragmented-new-map-european-migration
