European Security: A European Studies Seminar
Discussions of “crisis at the border” fill the news on both sides of the Atlantic. Focusing on one of the primary European receiving countries in the current migration waves, this seminar will put forward a consideration of flexicuritization as a departure from the securitization of migration. As preparation for the discussion with Prof. Dimari, participants in the seminar will read three brief articles of hers available upon registration.
