300655 Maritime Migration: ‘boat people’, rejection and the law (MA: Soziologie der globalen Welt) (S) (SoSe 2024)

Contents, comment

This seminar directs attention to two regions that are prone to irregularised maritime migration: the Andaman Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. By engaging with contemporary mass movements and the recent (non-)reception policies emanating from potential receiving countries, students will discuss militarised border policies, depoliticisation and repoliticisation of escapes by boats, humani-tarianisation of border management, maritime deterrence and left-to-die policies, the criminalisa-tion of sea rescue, and the role of non-state actors. The overarching questions to be tackled throughout the semester are: what are the differences in maritime migration and state policies vis-à-vis ‘boat people’ compared to movements on land and what are the prospects of using the spe-cifics of maritime spaces and legal frameworks to deter maritime arrivals?
