New Borders: Migration, Hotspots and the European Superstate

New Borders delves into the complexities of the Mediterranean migration crisis, offering readers a comprehensive analysis shaped by two years of dedicated research. The authors, a diverse team of scholars, investigate the multifaceted dimensions of migration, examining how geopolitical factors, humanitarian concerns, and national policies intersect in this challenging landscape. Their insights illuminate the lives of migrants navigating precarious journeys, as well as the responses of European nations grappling with issues of border control and sovereignty.

Through a critical lens, the authors confront the concept of the European Superstate, questioning its implications on both policy and human rights. The narrative weaves together personal stories and empirical data, shedding light on the often overlooked human aspect of migration. With an emphasis on hotspots—areas particularly affected by migration pressure—the work serves as a pivotal reference for understanding not only the crisis itself but also the broader socio-political dynamics at play in Europe today.
