Cascading processes from securitisation to criminalisation of asylum at European Union boundaries: Austrian -internal- and Spanish -external- borders as case studies

Gustavo de la Orden Bosch is a researcher at the Pedro Arrupe Human Rights Institute of the University of Deusto. During his fellowship at the University of Graz, his research project aims to build knowledge on the processes of securitisation and criminalisation embedded in migration and asylum policies. In particular, his study aims to better understand this issue in the European Union's border regime, both inside and outside the Schengen area. The ultimate aim is to gain a better understanding of how European borders function and how they construct, deconstruct and modify the meanings of citizenship and social membership in, around and across Europe.
