IR Professor's New Publication on Security in the Age of Migration

A new book by Dr. Ali Bilgiç, Assistant Professor in the Department of International Relations, has been published by Routledge. The work is entitled "Rethinking Security in the Age of Migration: Trust and Emancipation in Europe."

Dr. Bilgiç's book studies, in the words of the publisher, "ideas and practices which can contribute to replacing the political structures of insecurity with emancipatory structures, where individuals (both irregular migrants and members of the receiving communities) enjoy security together. Drawing on the security dilemma, critical approaches to security, forced migration and trust, the book demonstrates how common life between two groups of individuals can be politically constructed, in tandem with limitations, risks, and possible handicaps of initiating such a construction in world politics."
