[Migration Politics as Driver of the Authoritarian Turn

From the political right to the liberal centre, migration is cast as the root cause of multiple crises, while increasingly repressive policies are presented as magic bullet of regaining control. At the same time, left-wing movements face mounting attacks, liberal-democratic institutions are being undermined, and violent imaginaries of subordination and exclusion are increasingly normalised. Bringing together perspectives from different contexts, this event traces the connections between these developments and asks how migration politics is helping to reshape state and society along authoritarian lines.
