Movilidades, Control Fronterizo y Luchas Migrantes (CLACSO/Siglo XXI, April 2023) [open access]
- "Más allá de la diversificación de los movimientos migratorios y de sus destinos, estamos asistiendo a cambios fundamentales en las dinámicas de las movilidades. ¿Cómo entender la relación entre Estados, regímenes de control fronterizo y disciplinamiento de las poblaciones? ¿Cómo se articulan las migraciones con otras dimensiones de la desigualdad y exclusión? ¿Cuáles han sido las formas de resistencia en las migraciones contemporáneas en el continente? Este libro examina las variadas formas en que se han manifestado las tensiones y conflictos entre los movimientos de migración y la instauración de regímenes de control en diversos contextos y experiencias migratorias en la región en los últimos diez años desde miradas y metodologías antropológicas, sociológicas y politológicas."

- "The EU is often seen as a cosmopolitan project. Europe is supposed to be a community of states that aspires to be guided by cosmopolitan norms. However, the idea of a cosmopolitan Europe has never been unanimously shared, and in recent years, it has come under increasing scrutiny, particularly with regard to the EU’s refugee policy. The guiding idea of this book is that a deeper philosophical understanding of the normative issues at stake can foster greater conceptual clarity and enrich political debates on the future of European refugee policy."
