This edited volume analyses how illiberal states manage migration to absorb resistance and how migration impacts the illiberal political agenda in Russia, Eurasia, and Eastern Europe. With an interdisciplinary approach, the contributions show how illiberalism shapes, influences, and enables states to take advantage of migration to secure and advance political goals. The case studies also provide an understanding of how migration processes can simultaneously challenge authoritarianism and illiberal political goals by fostering diversity, networking, democracy promotion, and political empowerment.

Reconfiguring EU Peripheries explores the diverse nature of the European Union’s interactions with its peripheries. With its focus on the perceptions of politicians, the volume casts new light on the motivations that underpin the political elites’ attitudes towards the EU in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Hungary, Kosovo, Moldova, Romania, Türkiye and Ukraine. By challenging the conventional understanding of contestation and peripherality, this volume is a first step towards looking at the EU and the peripheries it creates from an alternative, and sometimes ignored, point of view.
