Considering the role of tenure systems in the construction of boundaries of exclusion and inclusion in the context of environmental migration in West Africa: examples from Ghana and Burkina Faso
[en] In a context of the debate increasingly shaped by security concerns,the panel session aims to re-imagine the institutional limitations on environmental migration within the context of traditionally fluid, contiguous borders such as those that exist in West Africa. Border conceptualization and re-conceptualization directly addresses the challenge posed by environmental migration to the political community in establishing national borders as a geographical obstacle to the right to live.
