Constructing the Migration-(In)Security Nexus. Aspects of Urban Geopolitics

This article analyses the dynamics of the urban geopolitics within the wider framework of permanently constructing the (more or less imagined) migration-(in)security nexus, which might have, at turn, its boomerang effects, leading to further security dilemmas. The role of immigrant networks is briefly sketched and then considered within the constructivist paradigm. Last, but not least, the case study illustrates the representational asymmetric interplay between the global network of Islamists and the urban one of PEGIDA.
