SUMMARY:Sea(m)less Peninsulas? Italy, Europe and the Refugee Question
DESCRIPTION:
 In this lecture Maurizio Albahari will outline 
 the emergence of the Mediterranean Sea as the 
 world's deadliest international border for 
 refugees, focusing in particular on the central 
 migratory route - between Libya and Italy 
 - and on the military-humanitarian role of Italy's 
 authorities and civil society. He will 
 illustrate how the political and institutional 
 separation between Northern Europe and the 
 Mediterranean (Turkey and southern European Union 
 countries such as Italy and Greece) constitutes 
 state of affairs that can be sustained 
 only at an unspeakable economic and human cost.\n
 \n
