This contributed volume analyzes in depth how a border area is
constantly reshaped as migration policies harden, and what kind of
social, political and economic impacts are produced at local and
international level. The study is focused on Ventimiglia, an
Italian town located 6 km away from the French-Italian border on
the gulf of Genoa with a long story of commerce, custom and
smuggling activities related to its proximity to the frontier.
While several projects have analyzed other symbolic places of the
EU migration crisis such as Lampedusa, Calais and Lesvos, there is
a severe empirical gap regarding Ventimiglia, a border town at the
very geographic core of the Schengen area. This case study may
provide emblematic insights into what European migratory movements
are currently revealing in terms of the lack of shared
responsibility between EU Member States, the EU common asylum
system and respect for human rights, with increasing claims for
national sovereignty by some Member States.
