Refugee Diplomacy as a Polycentric 'Battlefield': Cooperation and Conflict over Displacement in the Shadow of Syria's War

hosted by Professor Raffaella A. Del Sarto

Aalborg University, Denmark

This research seminar looks at the EU's refugee diplomacy in the Mediterranean as a polycentric ‘battlefield'. Drawing on the case of Syrian displacement since 2011, I explore how the European Union (the EU) and key regional refugee hosting countries in the Eastern Mediterranean have collaborated and clashed on refugee diplomacy, and what this has meant for the EU's conflict resolution strategy in the shadow of Syria's armed conflict.
