7th Graz Workshop on the Future of Security, 26.-27. November 2015 | University of Graz, Austria

On November 26th and 27th 2015, international experts in human security and migration will gather in Graz to address some of the most pressing issues - as presently visualized by the mass influx of refugees to EU-states - in contemporary world affairs:

How do new threats to human security, i.e. “the right of people to live…free from poverty and despair” (UN Resolution A/RES/66/290), challenge conceptualizations of forced migration? Are new threats to human security reflected in political and legal approaches to migration? How does the production of regimes of unauthorized migrants impact on the human security, rights and well-being of the individual, the host or home communities? And who can or ought to be held responsible, legally, politically, socially, morally?
