Dear CMRS Friends
Hope you all had a nice summer break. This is to invite you to the first CMRS seminar of fall 2016 semester. The seminar will take place at 6.30 pm at the Oriental Hall, Tahrir Square Campus. It will be given by Dr. Giovanna Marconi on the Geopolitics of transit migration and its impacts at the local level. Detailed information on the topic and the speaker are below and attached.
Looking forward to see you all
Abstract
The speech will focus on the reasons behind the growing political attention towards transit migration and the side-effects the politicization of this issue generates in the crucial points of transit routes, i.e. cities of transit countries. The cases of Tijuana in Mexico and Istanbul in Turkey will be used to explore the local processes activated by the introduction of the category ‘transit migration’. In particular it will be discussed how international geopolitical interests are affecting the way in which cities react and respond to the presence of international migrants and, as a consequence, what are migrants’ modes of incorporation in the urban social and spatial fabric.
