movements. Journal for Critical Migration and Border Regime Studies

The journal "movements" collects academic, activist and artistic output that deals with migration and border regimes. It fosters exchange between academic discourse and the movements of migration, and thus allows for political debate about our societies in motion.
This issue discusses the current developments of the Turkish migration and border regime in relation to EUropean migration policies. The contributions analyze the so called EU-Turkey Deal and its implications on politics and society in Turkey and its neighborhood as well as the living conditions of asylum seekers and migrants in Turkey.
"movements" is published in print with transcript and online (open access) at www.movements-journal.org.
