Abstract
The volume engages with ongoing political and social transformations across the European and Eurasian space, focusing on emerging forms of human mobility that appear to offer a privileged analytical lens for understanding the reconfiguration of the macro-continent’s political and territorial order. Starting from the assumption that borders, identities, and movements are not separate dimensions but mutually constitutive processes, the volume proposes an integrated analysis of the crises and conflicts that have affected Europe and Eurasia over the past decade. It highlights how practices of reterritorialization, the contestation of post-Cold War borders, and new migratory experiences collectively contribute to the production of a geography of mobility that is radically different from that of the past. The approach adopted privileges a medium- to long-term perspective, aimed at capturing the sedimentation of structural dynamics rather than the mere succession of emergency events, and is grounded in an interdisciplinary dialogue between border studies, migration studies, and international relations.
