Migration policy innovation in the EU and Croatia -- how and why?
Introductory lecture: Silva Mežnarić
Moderated by: Vedran Horvat (HBF)
talk at [13:16 - 47:11]
discussion at [47:12 - 01:04:51]
Conference ++ "Europe for Everyone: Bridging the Gap." Fora on politics of migration.
Heinrich Böll Stiftung together with the Green European Foundation launches a series of discussions as part of this year's Zagreb Subversive Forum on the topic of modern migration policy:
The issue of free movement and fundamental human rights is inseparably both on a theoretical and practical level associated with the concepts of power and freedom but also with the introduction of a series of direct or hidden restrictive regimes of movements on the political map of Europe.
In this sense, migrants passively (as a trigger) or active (as actors) are increasingly becoming a social subject that is one of the gravity point of resistance to the new inequalities that usually accompanies the process of narrowing freedom.
A central occasion of those events certainly is the recent rise of xenophobia, Euro- skepticism and anti - immigration policy that is more acute all over Europe and ahead of the upcoming elections to the European Parliament. While in Croatia, on the periphery of the European Union, the trend has no such destructive effects, or perhaps precisely because of that, we intend to promptly initiate quality of the debate between researchers, artists, activists, scientists and all others on various aspects of immigration policy and the ways in which it can be used for a later development of an open and free society. Faced with the outcomes of the recent neoconservative revolution we believe that it's time that different social groups seriously tackle the issue of Croatian immigration policy and all its contradictions and place the imperatives of human rights and social equality in the forefront.
Realized with the financial support of the European Parliament to GEF
