Securitizing migration: The new norm? Misconceptions and the allure of simple explanations
Find below the agenda including the concrete topics relating to security challenges and migration challenges the EU is currently dealing with.
As we are moving into a new phase of global insecurity, the debates on migration become increasingly securitized. The waves of internal and external conflicts in the last years have undoubtedly affected the security constellation of the continent, while internal political dynamics have opened the door to ideas focused on the externalization of borders, forceful return and xenophobia of a feared (cultural) other. At the same time, multiple forms of security threats, not least through domestic and international terrorism and the Russian war on aggression, require realistic and evidence-based analyses and responses. This event aims to disentangle simplistic discourses on security and migration by discussing with various stakeholders fundamental approaches to migration and security in order to unravel misconceptions, animate to new thinking and foster exchange on solution-based approaches that go beyond reactive responses and short-sightness.
The event is conceptualised as a stakeholder forum, whereby members of the public are invited to participate in the discussion.
