The Program on The Study of Migration and Displacement examines migration and asylum-seeking movements with a regional focus on the Mediterranean. During the past 30 years these population movements and the diverse ways that national governments, and more recently the European Union, have dealt with them have rendered migration an issue of “high politics.”
The Program aspires to continue the tradition of the Mediterranean Migration Observatory which operated in the Institute of International Relations during the 2000s (co-directed by Martin Baldwin-Edwards and Xanthi Petrinioti). It aims to create a hospitable space for independent, interdisciplinary research, exchange of ideas between researchers and policy makers and support for graduate students of the Department of International, European and Area Studies of Panteion University.
