This book provides a critical analysis of irregular migration to Europe from a neo-Gramscian perspective. The 2015 migration crisis revealed that large-scale migration has the potential to undermine some of the greatest achievements of the European integration project such as the Schengen system and open internal borders.
Harald Köpping Athanasopoulos completed his PhD at the University of Liverpool Management School after having graduated as an MA in European Studies from Maastricht University and as a BA of International Relations from Swansea University. His research interests include European migration policy, neo-Gramscian theory, international political economy and European space policy. While he is active in academia as an associate professor at ESSCA School of Management Angers, he is also the head of the migration/integration department at Arbeit und Leben Sachsen in Leipzig.
