The latest Utrecht Law Review’s Special Issue co-edited by Dr. Veronika Nagy and Dr. Salvo Nicolosi is out. It focuses on ‘Mobility in a European Post-Crisis Scenario: Law-Making Dynamics and Law-Enforcement Challenges.’

Taking stock of the challenges emerging in view of adjusting the law-making and enforcement set-up at the national and European levels to a context of emergency, this Special Issue questions whether we will ever be out of the ‘crisis’ and offers a unique multidisciplinary examination of current mobility challenges that echo a very near past and project their implications onto the future.

From reflections on legislative frameworks to theoretical and historical reflections on human mobility, from law-enforcement issues on border control to new securitisation practices, the selected articles combine analysis at the European and national levels with the perspectives of disciplines like law and criminology as well as political science and anthropology.

The issue contains the following articles:
