Call for papers of the Workshop 'Between Rights and Fear: Exploring the Migration-Terrorism Nexus from a Justice Perspective' to be held in the Framework of the GLOBUS project – Reconsidering European Contributions to Global Justice, http://www.globus.uio.no/ * 4-6 June 2018 in Bertinoro(FC), Italy. Presentation: Workshop Migration and Terrorism. Paper proposals have to be sent by 15 December to this mail address: sps.globus@unibo.it and michela.ceccorulli2@unibo.it In the past few years the EU has seen significant arrivals of migrants and refugees that have challenged the EU’s internal cohesion and have been instrumentally used by populist and nationalist movements to raise public concerns. At the same time, terrorist attacks have multiplied in Europe, some perpetrated by migrants of first or second generation claiming allegiance to Islamic fundamentalist groups. For the effort made by EU institutions to avoid that a connection is immediately drawn between migration and terrorism, in the public debate the link is all the more repeated, with repercussions in the public perception of the relationship between the two phenomena. The implications in terms of policy approaches but also of normative considerations are manyfold, yet a reflection on the precise terms of such implications is necessary.At the same time, at the global level, not only terrorist groups might undertake smuggling and trafficking of migrants to earn money, but it is also possible to claim that massive migration and terrorist radicalization have some common roots in persistent global inequalities. Moreover, some of the measures undertaken to fight global terrorism, have in fact produced more refugees. All these cases have ethical implications and request an attentive reflection on what we could consider a just response by the international community.There is no easy solution to the clash of justice claims, but a scholarly reflection on these issues might help us contributing to a public and political debate, at both the regional and the global levels,whose securitization traits run against any justice criteria. To discuss these topics, the University of Bologna Team of GLOBUS organizes a workshop at the University Centre of Bertinoro, on June 4-6, 2018. The workshop has four main aims:1. Evaluate the relations between terrorism and migration at the global level, exploring the ethical implications2. Study the social construction through narratives and practices of the link between migration and terrorism in European societies.3. Study the link between terrorism and migration in the EU’s foreign policy and in the global governance of migration4. Study the tension between different justice claims through case-studies We welcome proposals for papers relevant for any of the above aims.Expenses: Participants from GLOBUS partner institutions are expected to cover their own travel expenses while the organizers will cover their local living expenses (meals and hotel). The otherparticipants will have their expenses fully covered.Proposals: Please send a proposal with name, affiliation, title and abstract of the paper to: sps.globus@unibo.it and michela.ceccorulli2@unibo.it by 15 December 2017. A selection will follow. PLEASE acknowledge that only a limited number of papers will be accepted due to space constraints in the workshop programme.Deadline for paper circulation: The accepted participants should send the full paper to the organizers by May 15, 2018.
