Beyond Persecution: Refugeehood and abandonment

Shahin Nasiri

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperScientificpeer-review

Abstract

The dominating discourse and regulatory regime of migration control in Europe is explored in four presentations, offering critical legal and philosophical reflections. In this panel, Shahin Nasiri argues that the conventional model of refugeehood cannot sufficiently explain the root causes of the mass flight of refugees on a global scale. Leila Faghfouri Azar highlights that severe exploitation of illegal migrants is an integral element of the EU-wide legal apparatus that forms a new category of labour force. Michiel Bot explores political agency of migrants that is occluded by the lack of attention given to race in political theory. Tamar de Waal suggests that EU member states should not implement refugee reception policies that rest on forms of “conditional belonging”.
