Examining the ongoing processes of migration in Europe and beyondCase studies focusing on Europe, Russia, the Middle East, and South AmericaIntegrates issues of current migration and boundary-making processesVarious experts discussing social and political factors pertaining to current dynamics of migration and boundary-making in different cultural settingsSociological and political analyses of current trends in transnational migration and reborderingBrings together studies from different continentsThis book deals with the ongoing processes of migration and boundary-(re)making in Europe and other parts of the world. It takes stock of recent and hitherto unpublished research on the refugee crisis in Europe, migration dynamics in the Middle East and migration flows in Africa and Latin America, specifically in relation to their political, social and cultural framing. In particular, chapters in this collection focus on newer cases of transnational migration and their socio-political implications. Alongside the refugee and migrant crisis in Europe, which can be seen as one of the most divisive political issues in recent European history, new patterns of migration and re-bordering can also be seen across Europe, the Middle East and beyond. These include both the rise of anti-immigration populism within the nation-states and practices of discouraging migration at the regional level such as the EU

The Russia-Europe relationship is deteriorating, signaling the darkest era yet in security on the continent since the end of the Cold War. In addition, the growing influence of the Trump administration has destabilized the transatlantic security community, compelling Europe—especially the European Union—to rethink its relations with Russia.
The volume editors' primary goal is to illuminate the nature of the deteriorating security relationship between Europe and Russia, and the key implications for its future. While the book is timely, the editors and contributors also draw out long-term lessons from this era of diplomatic degeneration to show how increasing cooperation between two regions can devolve into rapidly escalating conflict. While it is possible that the relationship between Russia and Europe can ultimately be restored, it is also necessary to understand why it was undermined in the first place. The fact that these transformations occur under the backdrop of an uncertain transatlantic relationship makes this investigation all the more pressing.
Each chapter in this volume addresses three dimensions of the problem: first, how and why the power status quo that had existed since the end of the Cold War has changed in recent years, as evidenced by Russia's newly aggressive posturing; second, the extent to which the EU's power has been enabled or constrained in light of Russia's actions; and third, the risks entailed in Europe's reactive power—that is, the tendency to act after-the-fact instead of proactively toward Russia—in light of the transatlantic divide under Trump.

Germany's role in Europe and the world is changing fundamentally. For about five decades West Germany's and reunited Germany's position was very much aligned with the European integration project.Despite its hegemonic potential, Germany defined its role as a partner of the other EU member states. Within the EU framework and globally, it mostly acted jointly with European partners, particularly France. Although Germany's situation altered significantly after unification, it still refrained from exercising its increased power and was rather seeking the role of a "gentle giant." This was largely the case despite some exceptions, such as the unilateral recognition of Croatian and Slovenian independence in the early 1990s, and criticism that Germany might tend to single-handed foreign policy—the "Alleingang."

La crise des réfugié·e·s et des migrant·e·s qu'a connu l'Europe a été une des questions politiques les plus importantes et les plus conflictuelles de son histoire récente. Depuis ses débuts au moment du Printemps Arabe en 2011 puis de son intensification en 2015, elle a été présentée comme une crise des migrant·e·s. Cependant, la réalité est bien plus complexe et il s'agit bien plutôt d'une crise « mixte », touchant tout à la fois des migrant·e·s et des réfugié·e·s. Cet article défend l'idée selon laquelle la réponse de l'Union européenne à cette crise peut largement être expliquée, d'une part, par la nature asymétrique de la crise elle-même et, d'autre part, par la structure inégale de l'Union. L'asymétrie est présente sous trois aspects différents qui sont analysés consécutivement dans cet article. Premièrement, la crise est asymétrique dans la mesure où elle affecte beaucoup plus certains États membres que d'autres. Deuxièmement, la structure-même de l'UE, avec ce qu'elle produit en termes de différenciation horizontale, de clauses d' opting-out et de partage inégal du fardeau, tend à conduire l'institution à produire des réponses asymétriques. Troisièmement, la position de l'Allemagne en tant qu'acteur-clé ajoute à la nature inégale de l'UE et a fortement influencé la manière dont la crise a été gérée en 2015-2016. Ces trois aspects de l'asymétrie permettent d'expliquer pourquoi trouver une solution commune s'est révélé si difficile.
