🚨Happy to share my new #openaccess article "A Creeping Crisis of Migration Management? Institutional Responses and Implications for 'Access' at the EU's Physical, Legal, and Social Borders" in Journal of Immigrant & Refugee Studies, part of SI "Migration Crises with Adjectives".

In this IMISCOE blog post, Ana Margheritis discusses the recently published JIRS special issue titled "Migration Crisis with Adjectives: Towards a New Conceptualization and Assessment of Institutional Responses to Migration Crises across World Regions". Read here: www.imiscoe.org/news-and-blo...
You can find the full issue here:

You can read the introduction here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
This special issue argues that the term "migration crisis" currently works as a joker card in political discourses, while stressing the need for clarity and exploring how crisis framing shapes institutional responses across regions, including Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.
