Abstract

Abstract: This Forum aims to uncover the socio-politics of the 'migration crisis' in the Mediterranean. The contributions explore the idea of the 'migration crisis' or 'refugee crisis' in the Mediterranean from the starting point that as scholars of the Mediterranean we can do two things: one, we can look at the way crisis introduces processes of bordering to our analysis, limiting our gaze and analytical curiosity to a specific space and a specific time; or two, we can take these limits as an opportunity to explore the wider socio-politics, geographies and economies that contribute to producing this so-called 'crisis' and in turn what socio-politics, geographies and economies are produced and their implications.
