Description
This panel focusses on the role of the space and actors in the context of migration and asylum management. Displacement, detention and necropolitics become the epicentre of discussion, while looking at the risky routes that migrants take to cross borders, and their encampment. The restrictive migration policies and the strict population management methods have undermined the international protection for asylum seekers and they reproduce a logic and practice of securitisation. This panel tries to shed light on the spatial conceptualisations of the migration-security nexus, and on the transforming role of agents (such as the refugees themselves, or the NGOs), the struggles that occur between them in the framework of neoliberal governmentality and necropower.
