Kickoff Conference of the New Research Group at ZiF

Internalizing Borders: The Social and Normative Consequences of the European Border Regime

European borders are becoming both ubiquitous and openly violent. As border violence reportedly abounds, it becomes evident - in Europe particularly - that the new border policies conflict with liberal norms, international law and humanitarian values which constitute the historical and normative bases of the democratic nation state and the process of European unification itself. Against this backdrop, the research group "Internalizing Borders: The Social and Normative Consequences of the European Border Regime" will explore the normative and social consequences of the fortification and closing of borders for the states and societies engaged in these processes.
