Migrations and borders in the European Union
- Date:
- 10.Sep.2009
- Place:
- Maragall Hall, CIDOB Foundation. c/Elisabets, 12. 08001. Barcelona
- Organised by:
- Interdisciplinary Research Group in Immigration (GRITIM), Pompeu i Fabra University – Migrations Programme, CIDOB Foundation.
In recent years, research on migrations has had to deal with profound transformations in the definition of borders, in the context of the enlargement of the European Union. The aim of this seminar is to tackle both the institutional and the regulatory aspects of migration and border policies developed by the European Union and its Member States. The idea is to promote a research framework to examine the responses offered by the migration systems on the continent, as well as the emergence of a definition of the European Union's external border.
The seminar will cover three dimensions – the conceptual, the institutional and the political – and will be focusing attention on a range of issues, including border control and securitisation, the externalisation of migration policies, the institutional discourse of the EU on the subject of border management, the ethics of migration and the theoretical debates on the concepts of migration and borders.
