Migration Borders Freedom


March 07, 2018


In today's world, national citizenship determines a person's ability to migrate across borders. In Migration Borders Freedom (2017, Routledge), Harald Bauder questions that premise. Recognizing the magnitude of deaths occurring at contemporary borders worldwide, Bauder problematizes the concept of the border and develops arguments for open borders and a world without borders. He explores alternative possibilities, ranging from the practical to the utopian, that link migration with ideas of community, citizenship, and belonging. Bauder calls into question the conventional political imagination that assumes migration and citizenship to be responsibilities of nation states, rather than cities. While he draws on the theoretical work of thinkers such as Ernst Bloch, David Harvey, and Henry Lefebvre, he also presents international empirical examples of policies and practices on migration and claims of belonging.
