{"product_id":"at-europes-edge-migration-and-crisis-in-the-mediterranean-9780198842514","title":"At Europe's Edge: Migration and Crisis in the Mediterranean","description":"The Mediterranean Sea is now the deadliest region in the world for migrants. Although the death toll has been rising for many years, the EU response remains fragmented and short sighted. Politicians frame these migration flows as an unprecedented crisis and emphasize migration control at the\u003cbr\u003eEU's external boundaries. In this context, \u003cem\u003eAt Europe's Edge\u003c\/em\u003e investigates why the EU prioritizes the fortification of its external borders; why migrants nevertheless continue to cross the Mediterranean and to die at sea; and how EU member states on the southern periphery respond to their new role as\u003cbr\u003emigration gatekeepers. The book addresses these questions by examining the relationship between the EU and Malta, a small state with an outsized role in migration politics as EU policies place it at the crosshairs of migration flows and controls. The chapters combine ethnographic methods with\u003cbr\u003emacro-level analyses to weave together policymaker, practitioner, and migrant experiences, and demonstrate how the Mediterranean is an important space for the contested construction of 'Europe'. This book provides rich insight into the unexpected level of influence Malta exerts on EU migration\u003cbr\u003egovernance, as well as the critical role migrants and their clandestine journeys play in animating EU and Maltese migration policies, driving international relations, and producing Malta's political power. By centring on the margins, the book pushes the boundaries of our knowledge of the global\u003cbr\u003epolitics of migration, asylum, and border security.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ċetta Mainwaring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198842514\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCetta Mainwaring, \u003cem\u003eLeverhulme Early Career Research Fellow, School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Glasgow\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCetta Mainwaring is a Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellow in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Glasgow.

Dr Mainwaring's research\u003cbr\u003einterests lie at the intersection of migration, borders, and state controls. Her research projects have examined how European Union member states seek to control migration at the external border in the Mediterranean region and how these policies shape migrant experiences. This includes co-leading a\u003cbr\u003ecollaborative, cross-regional project, 'Clandestine Migration Journeys', which examines the everyday experiences of migrants travelling without authorization and the ways they challenge and overcome restrictive policies and barriers they face along the route.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39932118335603,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_8aa66210-daf5-4a81-8b0f-fe1fdd546e20.jpg?v=1647790531","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/at-europes-edge-migration-and-crisis-in-the-mediterranean-9780198842514","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
