Europe's ‘Others’ in the Polar Mediterranean

Abstract: A large body of literature problematises the role of the Mediterranean, as both civilisational hearth and liminal frontier, in both ancient and modern Europe. However, much less attention has been directed to the inland sea at Europe's northern edge: the Arctic. Increasingly, as the Arctic becomes attractive to non-Arctic European capitals as a potential site of investment and (in)security, European states, and perhaps the EU as a whole, are seeking to construct the Arctic, like the Mediterranean, as a space t… Show more

“…Geographers have been quick at grasping the importance of studying Europe's edges as spaces that are "marginal and central" (Steinberg, 2016) to its future: spaces at the continent's geographical edge but that are, at the same time, in the core of its monumental political transformation. We have spent the past year in the continent's geographical edge and we have seen how the hotspot approach has been used at the cutting edge of the Commission's migration and bordering policies.…”
