In this context, it introduces recent research on Egyptian Late Bronze Age deportation policies and paints a comprehensive picture of their political economy, including the geographic scope and societal and individual impacts on both the Egyptian and affected societies. Using this case study, the author highlights how Egyptologists can connect with scholars from other disciplines, which like International Relations and Migration Studies are more concerned with modern history and contemporary developments, to move the field forward and contribute to present-day issues.application/pdf1-23engopenAccessForced labourForced migrationGovernanceLate Bronze AgePolitical economyarticleAutoreshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/
