Over the years, it has become clear that migrations are structural, not sporadic, phenomena in our societies. However, in recent decades, governments, international organizations, and academia have associated migrations with the concept of crisis. Why is human mobility still linked to the idea of an extraordinary event of modernity? Is migration a consequence of crisis or a cause? How do different governments and international organizations construct the concept of a migration crisis? Seeking to answer these and other questions, the chapters in this volume offer a critical look at the link between migration and crisis from different theoretical and geographical perspectives and invite us to rethink the limits of the very concept of a migration crisis through twelve case studies organized around the analytical categories of politics, environment, and identities.
