Steve Niva, Associate Professor of Global Politics, TESC will speak on “The Refugee Crisis and the Re-Bordering of Europe. The European Union was meant to dissolve borders and lead to regional integration but there seems to be a reversal underway in today’s Europe. Border controls, border barriers and even border walls are going up all over Europe. Where
is this happening and why? This talk will provide an overview of the different ways that Europe is “re-bordering” today after experimenting with transnational integration and open borders.
