Borders are not just meaningless geographical lines. They have an impact on all of our lives, whether it's the fallout from Brexit or the inhumanity of a detention center. In Border Nation, Leah Cowan shows how borders are violent, oppressive, and must be resisted. Looking back, we learn of the elitist, colonial, and patriarchal origins of borders, explore the vital history of anti-racist, anti-border organizing and hear stories from people who have crossed partitions.

Conversations about migration are often inside the box: numbers, causes, effect on the economy, how to prevent it. This podcast unboxes migration. It opens up questions on movement and justice and disrupts conventional thinking to better understand how mobility, in all its forms, is a necessary part of all our lives.Our approach is creative, making connections between different types of movement, going beyond the human and across time. It is also critical, challenging assumptions and prioritising justice, as well as conceptual and research driven (we are academics after all!). We call this ‘...

Deutschland, immer noch ein starkes Land in der Mitte Europas, befindet sich seit Jahren in einem relativen Niedergang: Arbeit lohnt sich für viele nicht mehr, Millionen kulturfremde Einwanderer strömen in die sozialen Sicherungssysteme. Die Explosion der Sozialausgaben überwuchert die öffentlichen Haushalte. Der Staat zeigt sich überfordert: Eine Reform der Asyl- und Migrationspolitk gelingt seit Jahren nicht. Die Bundeswehr ist blank und nicht fähig zur Landesverteidigung. Die Bürokratie nimmt immer mehr zu. Die Digitalisierung stockt, das Steuersystem ist leistungsfeindlich.

In May 1830, the United States formally launched a policy to expel Native Americans from the East to territories west of the Mississippi River. Justified as a humanitarian enterprise, the undertaking was to be systematic and rational, overseen by Washington's small but growing bureaucracy. But as the policy unfolded over the next decade, thousands of Native Americans died under the federal government's auspices, and thousands of others lost their possessions and homelands in an orgy of fraud, intimidation, and violence.

Much has changed—and is changing—in the world of migration and integration policy. Migration management has become more complex as flows have diversified in types and origins; overtaxed humanitarian protection systems globally are facing record challenges; societies have become more polarized, with immigration often used as a wedge issue; climate migration is an ever-growing area of concern for the future; and key immigrant-destination countries are increasingly competing for the types of immigrants they want. What do leading migration thinkers have to say about these and other ...

Faschismus und Totalitarismus, Integration und Intoleranz, Migration und Europa, Identität, das Eigene und das Fremde - die zentralen Begriffe in Umberto Ecos fünf Essays könnten kaum aktueller sein. Gerade in ihrer zeitlichen Distanz zeigt sich die Stärke von Ecos Gedanken: Losgelöst vom tagesaktuellen Geschehen, scheinen in ihnen die überzeitlichen Strukturen auf, die unserem Denken und Handeln zugrunde liegen. Präzise, wortgewandt und gespickt mit persönlichen Erinnerungen rufen seine Texte die komplexe Geschichte der Herausforderungen wach, vor denen wir heute stehen.

Quand on parle de migration au Sénégal, on imagine le plus souvent de jeunes hommes voguant vers les Canaries sur une pirogue incertaine.

Ballot box voting is often considered the essence of political freedom. But it has two major shortcomings: individual voters have little chance of making a difference, and they also face strong incentives to remain ignorant about the issues at stake. "Voting with your feet", however, avoids both of these pitfalls and offers a wider range of choices. In Free to Move, Ilya Somin explains how broadening opportunities for foot voting can greatly enhance political liberty for millions of people around the world.

Migrants are very differently received in different European countries.

The team reflect on the stories of migrants they meet, the communities receiving...
