Borders, Migration and Othering

Abstract

This panel presents a range of studies on the theoretical and empirical meaning of borders, migration and othering. While the world is globalizing and this phenomenon, in combination with a broad range of other factors, implies constant migration streams, borders play an important role in a variety of ways. The papers cover a range of topics including how different regional integration initiatives such as the European Union (EU), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), and the Southern Common Market (Mercosur), themselves set barriers which impede the realization of comprehensive free movement within these regions; how immigrant integration is regulated and occurs primarily vis-à-vis the diaspora community itself in rather exclusionary political regimes such as the State of Qatar; and how the alignment of attitudes towards immigration and redistribution is related to class and education and has evolved across Europe since the early 2000s.
