SUMMARY:Contested migration governance and borders
DESCRIPTION:The state is a central concept for the study of power\, dominat
 ion\, and socio-political change across the social sciences. Its usefulnes
 s is however contested\, especially in African contexts where the Eurocent
 ric ideal-type of the state stands in marked contrast to political realiti
 es on the ground. This raises a number of crucial questions: Through what 
 concepts can one grasp the prominent role of trans- and international conn
 ections\, networks\, and NGOs that influence what statehood stands for?\\r
 \\nTo address these timely questions among young researchers working on Af
 rica\, an international consortium of research institutes in Basel\, Freib
 urg im Breisgau\, and Strasbourg is organising three consecutive half-day 
 online workshops dealing with particular topics in this debate. The worksh
 ops will provide doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers\, as wel
 l as advanced MA students\, with an opportunity for a thematically focused
  exchange across the fields of political science\, sociology\, history\, A
 frican studies\, anthropology\, international relations\, and peace and co
 nflict studies.\\r\\nKeynote: Thomas Faist (Universität Bielefeld)\\r\\n
