最近的移民危机引发了重要的地缘政治问题。谁是当代政治关注的“移民”？关于谁是移民的答案是如何变化的？谁来计算，在什么情况下？本论坛对当前突出的移徙问题作出回应并提出问题，审查移徙类别如何具有地缘政治意义，不仅在于它们是如何构成和由谁构成的，而且还在于它们如何受到挑战和破坏。此外，通过研究移民和难民的概念如何在不同的背景下使用，并用于各种目的，它开辟了关于流动性，公民身份和民族国家的关键问题。总的来说，这些贡献的目的是展示如何问题化的移民和它的分类可以是一个工具，调查到其他现象和过程。
Recent migration crises' raise important geopolitical questions. Who is the migrant' that contemporary politics are fixated on? How are answers to who counts as a migrant' changing? Who gets to do that counting, and under what circumstances? This forum responds to, as well as questions, the current saliency of migration by examining how categories of migration hold geopolitical significancenot only in how they are constructed and by whom, but also in how they are challenged and subverted. Furthermore, by examining how the very concepts of migrant' and refugee' are used in different contexts, and for a variety of purposes, it opens up critical questions about mobility, citizenship and the nation state. Collectively, these contributions aim to demonstrate how problematising migration and its categorisation can be a tool of enquiry into other phenomena and processes.
