Transnational Institute - How Universities Power Europe’s Border Regime

[Sergio Brasini]

This report exposes how universities are embedded in the EU’s border regime, driving the militarisation, surveillance, and externalisation of migration control. It reveals a growing border-industrial-academic complex and challenges academia’s role in legitimising and advancing policies that systematically harm and exclude people on the move.
