Sommario/riassunto

Instead of departing from the 'push' or 'pull' factors that initiate cross-border movement, Puumala begins with the moving body and examine the kinds of relations of the international that the body makes visible through its relations, engagements and movement   Based on extensive fieldwork which sheds light on a range of Europe-wide practices in the field of asylum and migration policies.
