Leaving Europe: New Crises, Entrenched Inequalities and Alternative Routes of Social Mobility

[en] This special issue tries to map, describe, and understand the aspirations and strategies, the hopes and anxieties of people leaving behind Europe in order to settle, work, and live in other parts of the world – while some do not consider a future return to Europe as a desired option. Such out-of-Europe resoluteness appears to be in complex ways related to a sense of crisis which the people under consideration experience and seek to defy.
