Migration and politics
Political migration: border-crossing as political fact and its tensions with citizenship.
Migration is one of the central political facts of the 21st century. Hannah Arendt in Origins of Totalitarianism (1951) anticipated the refugee problem as political category. Seyla Benhabib (The Rights of Others, 2004) analyzed it from democratic cosmopolitanism; Joseph Carens defended the duty of admission; republican authors discuss the tension between national sovereignty and universal obligation. The Syrian crisis (2015), Venezuelan and African migrations, climate displacements have renewed the debate.
