Controlling the Alien Other

Migration, punishment and citizenship

Globalization processes entail specific challenges for criminal justice and for the nation state in general. Global mobility has been accompanied by a series of mechanisms and techniques for control, evaluation and administration of ‘alien’ populations.

 

The purpose of the seminar is to explore the impact of migration on criminal justice, policing and social exclusion, on the national and the trans-national levels.It may appear that penal measures are increasingly used for the purposes of immigration control and vice versa. The boundaries between the two fields are becoming blurred and to some extent also irrelevant. 

Abstracts of the presentations are linked to the individual titles.

The seminar is open.

For lunch, please notify Per Jørgen Ystehede (p.j.ystehede@jus.uio.no) before September 2nd 2011.
