  • Course title: Global crimes (border criminology)
  • Instructor: Valeria Ferraris
  • Days: Thursday and Friday
  • Time: 2-4 PM

Global Mobility

  • Global movement of people and goods is a key feature of globalization
  • Mobility represents both positive and negative aspects of globalization
  • Mobility is a proxy for how globalization is perceived (good or bad)

Global Mobility (continued)

  • People's mobility is a source of survival for national economies
  • Remittances, tourism, and labor migration are examples
  • Brexit is mentioned in relation to labor migration

Global Mobility and Inequality

  • Globalization results in a smaller world, but also a more unequal one
  • Mobility brings hybridity, potentially threatening local communities
  • Mobility patterns mirror inequality patterns
  • Mobility is a stratified phenomenon.

Tourists and Vagabonds

  • Tourists, often the globalized elite, move effortlessly
  • Vagabonds, often the precarious poor, face burdensome and forced movement
  • Tourists are outsiders but enjoy State protection; vagabonds are more marginalized

Global Mobility (historical context)

  • Pre-1914: easy international movement without strict regulations (no passports, visas, etc.)
  • Post-1914: significant restrictions on movement and civil rights, driven by mistrust and fear of foreigners (xenophobia)
  • Parallels are drawn between restrictions on travelers and those placed on criminals

Global Mobility (what the quotation highlights)

  • Legal aspects of borders change over time
  • Building of borders and distrust of foreigners
  • Concept of 'otherness' and the fear it generates
  • Comparison of restrictions on travel with restrictions on criminals

Global Mobility (examples)

  • Comparing travel experiences of different individuals (Italian in 1915, EU citizen today, Moroccan, Albanian) across different time periods and locations
  • Comparing different types and motives of movement, such as from rural China to urban centers, or migration from Syria to Italy or Sweden, across the world
  • Cases of women leaving Afghanistan before and after August 2021.
  • Mobility becomes migration due to legal frameworks
  • Laws define and categorize migration, create concepts and classifications
  • Without laws, it's simply movement, not migration

Global Mobility Control

  • Optimistic views of a borderless world are perceived as mistaken
  • 9/11 is seen as a turning point, but prior changes were already influencing mobility policy
  • State apparatuses struggle to control contemporary mobility and this reflects symbolic laws and politics

Size of the World and Mobility Control

  • The world's size is relative; some individuals see a smaller globalized world, other see a more fragmented one.
  • Globalization led to stricter border controls.
  • The protection of borders is intrinsically related to the social stratification of global communities, through border control mechanisms

Criminology of Mobility/Borders

  • Focus on the social sciences and impact of globalization
  • Studies inclusion and exclusion at borders of states
  • Focus on issues around membership, belonging, identity, and power in relation to borders and movement
  • The field builds on existing studies of race, ethnicity, and feminism (e.g., Policing the Crisis by Stuart Hall))
