Résumé
The Geopoliticisation of Migration Policies in and around Europe
Following increasing difficulties by European polities to cope with unplanned migrant arrivals, since two decades at least the “external », preemptive dimension of migration policies has been gaining strategic salience. While in an early phase, this shift was mainly the result of targeted “externalisation” initiatives taken by European “destination states”, in the last years (with 2015 as a turning point) “sending” and “transit states” neighbouring the EU have been deploying growing geopolitical agency by proactively “weaponising” migrants and refugees. The seminar will analyse this shift within a long-term trend towards “geopoliticisation” of migration policies.
