CfP: First Mid-Term Conference of the IMISCOE Migration Politics (MigPoG) Standing Committee (SC)

As a key member of the IMISCOE Migration Politics and Governance (MigPoG) Standing Committee (SC), the Migration Policy Centre will hold the First Mid-Term Conference on ‘Migration politics and governance: understanding the relationships’ on 26-27 March 2020 at the European University Institute in Florence.  
 

We encourage and welcome papers that address empirically and theoretically the link between migration politics and governance, including contributions:
 

• On different migration issues, e.g. immigration, emigration, border control, integration, asylum seekers and refugees etc.;

• Taking different methodological approaches, i.e. quantitative, qualitative, mix-methods;

• Adopting different disciplinary perspectives: political science, policy studies, electoral studies, political sociology, political psychology, geography, international relations, social movement studies etc.

• Considering different geographical areas, relations within regions and levels of government/governance. More specifically, we welcome papers paying attention to migration politics and policies elaborated 1) within the EU context in a global perspective, including the external dimension of European and national migration policies and politics, and the international mobilisation of local authorities; 2) beyond the EU, therefore developed at different territorial scales in receiving/transit countries and at a global and international level (e.g. multilateralism, international organisations etc.).

To propose a paper, please send an abstract by 29 November 2019, to fieri@fieri.it. Abstracts should be max. 500 words long and provide some specification of the paper’s theoretical and methodological approach as well as contribution to the literature.
