The book
Europe faces the biggest post-World War II refugee crisis today.
The successive wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, South Sudan and Syria, the social and political crisis in North Africa, the advance of radical Islamism and the breakdown of the Sahelian states are provoking large population movements towards a Europe, which once again sees its political response capacity, the identity of its union project, the responsibilities derived from its foreign policy and the strength of its legal architecture for the defense and expansion of human rights.
The different texts presented in this volume seek to make available to a wide audience some of the reflections that have emerged from the academic field on the so-called refugee crisis.
Although focused mainly on Europe, analyzes are also included on other countries such as Mexico and Canada.
The purpose of this work is to propose some axes of discussion that contribute to the social and political debate, with a broad view that not only turns its attention on statistics, quotas and humanitarian dramas that the Mediterranean (already turned into sea of ​​blood) And borders (many of them converted into borders of death) leave us, but above all, in political and legal responses.
