1 | Migrants and Refugees in the Mediterranean: Issues of Politics and Policy Academic Responsible: Dr. Domenico Maddaloni, Head, Sociology Unit, ATINER & Professor, University of Salerno, Italy. In the new century, the Mediterranean has increasingly been the crossroads of major migratory movements, not only from the global South in the direction of Europe, but also between Eastern and Western Europe. This has provoked social and political debates and conflicts in countries long accustomed to substantial ethnic homogeneity. What is new in more recent years is that this phenomenon has increasingly been accompanied by a change in the political framework, with the emergence and development of movements strongly marked by anti-immigrant rhetoric. What are the causes of this change? What consequences does this change produce in the national and European political framework? To what extent does it affect national immigration policies and the service system? The purpose of this session is to discuss these aspects of political life in the countries bordering the shores of the Mediterranean. | Abstract Submitting Form |

2 | Democracy and Growth Academic Responsible: Dr. Mehmet Cevat Yildirim, Lecturer, Gaziantep University, Turkey. Degrowth theory addresses the impact of economic growth on the environmental, economic, political, cultural and social spheres. The literature on the effects and critiques of growth is developing rapidly. This special session will focus on the relationship between economic growth and democracy. Does the democratic maturity of a society depend on the increase of its economic wealth or does its dependence on growth harm its democratic values? Papers and contributions from different disciplines such as economics, bionomics, political science, sociology and cultural studies are welcome for this special session. | Abstract Submitting Form |
