I recently published an analysis article for the Foreign Policy Research Institute, on the influence of the refugee crisis on southern European politics and society. It is the first of a three-part series on modern migration in the Mediterranean. The second will be on the COVID pandemic’s influence on an already volatile situation at a notorious refugee camp on the island of Chios. The third will discuss the specific set of qualities that will allow certain places in the Mediterranean to accommodate inevitable future influxes of refugees and, opposite of this, those Mediterranean locales that are poorly suited to the “new normal” of migration patterns.
