WALLS MUST FALL: ENDING THE DEADLY POLITICS OF BORDER MILITARISATION

  COVID-19 has become another touchstone for today’s deeply entrenched
politics of militarised borders and anti-migrant racism. Leaders like
Trump and Orban have blamed the virus on foreigners and to claim
justification for their racist politics. But they have also been used
European Union Member States of all political tendencies have used the
crisis to close off ports to rescue ships, making the Mediterranean even
more deadly for refugees. The ‘necropolitics’ of border
militarization that justifies systemic crimes against humanity has
become tragically hegemonic.

  This webinar will look at the trajectory and globalization of border
militarization across the world, the history, ideologies and actors that
have shaped it, the pillars and policies that underpin the border
industrial complex, the resistance of migrants, refugees and activists,
and the shifting dynamics within this pandemic. It will ask whether
there are ways post-pandemic to forge a different path that rejects
inhumane border politics, welcomes refugees and migrants, provides full
citizenship rights to the undocumented, and embraces the dignity of all
human beings.
