Migration and the Contested Politics of Justice
This book discusses the politics of justice in relation to migration addressing both the controversies of governance and the active role of migrants struggles in shaping the materiality of justice.
Considering justice and migration as globally contested fields, the book questions received wisdoms of European migration politics, including images of a migratory crises and the spurious pretensions of controlling and governing mobility. Gathering global scholars from migration studies, international relations and critical theory, as well as social activists, it advances an extended concept of contestation that goes beyond the simple clash of interests between national and international political actors. As such the book expands the discourse to a wider politics of justice and advances different angles and methodological perspectives from which to question purely normative conceptions of justice. Looking beyond the simple transformations in laws and regulations, the book updates the debate on migration adopting a global perspective.
This book is of key interest to scholars and students of migration studies, European studies, global justice, and labour, gender and EU studies.

Routledge Studies on the European Union and Global Order
Some critical voices notwithstanding, the scholarly debate on the EUs foreign policy role and its contribution to global values has rested on the assumption of the viability of a liberal world order with the EU at its vanguard. This Series revisits this assumption.
The series analyses the external policies - and the response from external actors - of the European Union (EU) at a time of enhanced uncertainty, risk and ambiguity. Drawing on a threefold conception of global political justice, it offers an innovative account of the EUs global role and relevance at a time of profound contestation over global norms. It delivers in-depth analyses of a set of core issues of global governance in which the EU has played a major role, amongst them migration, climate change, security and conflict, and development. Through these analyses, the Series re-conceptualises the EUs global role, and brings forth a new perspective on the crisis of the liberal world order; on what is at stake and for whom.
