In 2014, the ethics and politics of hospitality were brought into
stark relief. Three years into the Syrian conflict, which had
already created nearly 2.5 million refugees and internally
displaced 6.5 million, the UN called on industrialised countries to
share the burden of offering hospitality through a fixed quota
system. The UK opted out of the system whilst hailing their
acceptance of a moral responsibility by welcoming only 500 of the
'most vulnerable' Syrians. Given the state's exclusionary
character, what opportunities do other spaces in international
politics offer by way of hospitality to migrants and refugees?
Hospitality can take many different forms and have many diverse
purposes. But wherever it occurs, the boundaries that enable it and
make it possible are both created and unsettled via exercises of
power and their resistance. Through modern examples including
refugee camps, global cities, postcolonial states and Europe, as
well as analysis of Derridean and Foucauldian concepts, Migration,
Ethics and Power explores: The process and practice of hospitality
The spaces that hospitality produces The intimate relationship
between ethics and power This is a brilliantly contemporary text
for students of politics, international relations and political
geography.
