Migratory movements and borders: between regulation and integration

14/03/2019, 16:00, Maison de la Grande Région (Greater Region House)

Ever since the 19th century, migratory movements have always played a fundamental role in the upheavals in a Greater Region marked by its borders. The Schengen Agreement facilitated freedom of movement within Europe, but shifted the issue of mobility to the outer edges of the EU. The international tensions linked to terrorism, conflicts and mass immigration, which have led to a rethinking of the conditions of entry into Europe, raise a string of questions. To what extent does the tightening of border controls have any bearing on migration?  How is migration regulated and what are the social, economic and political consequences?
