Turbulent Margins. Outlines of a new migration regime in Southeast Europe. (Turbolente Raender. Konturen eines neuen migrationsregimes in Suedosten Europas)

Abstract

This article reviews developments of a new migration regime in Europe. It argues against the concept of a 'Fortress Europe' by pointing to fields of conflict that current migration movements establish. By focussing on a recent field research of migrations movements in Southeast Europe it explores modes of transit and entrepreneurial migration, the transformation and implementation of asylum laws, and the manifold functions of camps in the context of a transformation of statehood in this region
