In 1994 the journal was given a comparative European focus and was re-launched in 1998 with an international editorial board under its current title.^[2] In 2000 JEMS was relocated to the Centre for Migration Research at the University of Sussex when first Russell King (from 2001),^{[citation needed]} and subsequently Paul Statham (from 2014),^[3] became editors.
