Given the expected further growth of ICMPD’s impact on European, African & Asian border regimes, it is even more important to better comprehend what the organisation stands for & to which extent it has sustained the spirit of its early years

Georgi’s research & the empirical data he was able to collect in the 2000s offer a unique insight into ICMPD’s ideological foundation, the motivations in creating it & its conception of migration as a ‘phenomenon’ to be ‘managed’, filtered & harnessed 2/
