New Identities for a Global World?

Abstract

Migration is an intrinsic part of globalization processes as well as a salient political issue that currently dominates local, national, regional and global agendas. While globalization is presented as the free flow of capital, goods and information, there is disagreement as to how it affects the patterns and reasons for mobility. Whereas some authors argue that globalization leads to more migration and to higher welfare gains and/or costs, there is also evidence that in the field of migration globalization is better described as asymmetrical, with migrants moving to a small pool of countries (Czaika & de Haas 2014). The current European migration and refugee crisis challenges the common understanding of “global governance of migration” and raises doubts about the extent to which human mobility can be tamed and made predictable through governance techniques, such as migration management or integration policies. This panel will focus on how identities and subjectivities are shaped by migration and notions of the global.
