Migration and Mobility: Attitudes, Policies, and Cross-Border Dynamics

This panel investigates the diverse factors influencing migration and population mobility across regional and international contexts. It explores how proximity to borders and border fortifications affect public attitudes toward immigration, the impact of democratic decline on mobility in South Asia, and the dynamics of refugee antipathy and its triggers. The discussions also delve into the challenges faced by irregular migrants within the framework of policies like the Common European Asylum System (CEAS). By examining migration through political, social, and structural lenses, this panel offers fresh insights into the complexities of movement, barriers, and beliefs in a rapidly shifting global landscape.
