On a global scale, many migrant populations are stopped in their journey at international border or on the roads and places that are gradually built up as internal state borders. The political processes of contention are currently a common denominator of the production of blocked situations. As part of a transformation of the dynamics of control and surveillance, these policies don’t succeed in completely prohibit crossings, but do limit them and produce distinctions between people who will get access to destination countries and those who will encounter barriers. In spite of strong international injunctions, states have a space for negotiating their migration policies and arrangements, even if this space remains marked by patterns of domination and dependence.
The « border effects » have in common that they confront migrants, like asylum seekers, with forms of blockage, thus lengthening waiting periods, producing new social dynamics, temporalities and spatiality where various actors intervene. The objective of the conference is to analyze the diversity of migratory situations produced by blockage at levels according to their production context. The aim of the event is to participate in the construction of a comparative framework to address these situations by putting into perspective the construction of migration policies and their effects in Africa, Latin America and Europe.
