ECOLOGICAL CRISIS AND LEFT STRATEGIES
We are living in an “unequal dystopia in the making”. For decades, the mainstream answers to the climate crisis – namely sustainable development and green capitalism – have not only failed but have led to the deepening of the crisis.

The Militarization of EU Borders
The European Union’s new Pact on Migration and Asylum is characterized by a compromise at the expense of human rights and responsibility sharing, while it increases responsibilities for countries at the EU’s external borders. Furthermore, it establishes a robust border and migration management and outsources member states’ migration management responsibilities to third countries outside EU […]
The Militarization of EU Borders
Political discourse in Europe on migration revolves around exclusionary policies, the targeting of “others”, of refugees and migrants and of anyone that is different, creating a disproportionate impact on these populations. The failures in implementing EU law and policy in the area of irregular migration, and making it effective and respectful of human rights, reveal […]
