Confronting questions of globalization, mobilities and space in the
Mediterranean, and more specifically in the eastern Mediterranean,
this book introduces a new type of complexity and ambiguity to the
study of the global. In this theoretical frame an increasingly
urban articulation of global logics and struggles, and an
escalating use of urban space to make political claims, not only by
citizens but also by foreigners, can be found. By emphasizing the
interplay between global, regional and local phenomena, the book
examines new forms and conditions, such as the transformation of
borders, the reconfiguration of transnational communities, the
agency of transnational families, new mobilities and diasporas, and
transnational networks of humanitarian response. The contributions
from a variety of disciplines demonstrate that the reconfiguration
of mobilities and the accompanying problem of inhospitable politics
towards refugees at different levels, as well as humanitarian
responses to it, is one of the major impacts, globally speaking, of
the Arab Spring. Through the reconfiguration of such new mobilities
there is an urgency to properly map the space of the many
trajectories of those transnational connections. The editor
concludes that there is, however, great difficulty in doing so as
it is constantly disconnected by new arrivals, constantly waiting
to be determined by the configuration and reconfiguration of both
historical and contemporary relations. This exploration of
migration, mobilities and the Arab Spring, is essential reading for
scholars across a multitude of disciplines. The book's themes are
of major interest and importance for policymakers and
administrators at national and international levels. Contributors
