In 2014, the ethics and politics of hospitality were brought into
stark relief. Three years into the Syrian conflict, which had already
created nearly 2.5 million refugees and internally displaced 6.5
million, the UN called on industrialised countries to share the burden
of offering hospitality through a fixed quota system. The UK opted
out of the system whilst hailing their acceptance of a moral
responsibility by welcoming only 500 of the ‘most vulnerable’
Syrians. Given the state’s exclusionary character, what
opportunities do other spaces in international politics offer by way
of hospitality to migrants and refugees? Hospitality can take many
different forms and have many diverse purposes. But wherever it
occurs, the boundaries that enable it and make it possible are both
created and unsettled via exercises of power and their resistance.
Through modern examples including refugee camps, global cities,
postcolonial states and Europe, as well as analysis of Derridean and
Foucauldian concepts, Migration, Ethics and Power explores: The
process and practice of hospitality The spaces that hospitality
produces The intimate relationship between ethics and power This is a
brilliantly contemporary text for students of politics, international
relations and political geography.
