The Dialogue Is Dead, the Mediterranean Is Alive. 330 $aThis book explores the commonalities between the struggles of the last years around the Mediterranean and tries to find the cultural roots of this season of protests and activism against repression and a growing systemic crisis. Who are their main characters? How has mobility of ideas and persons contributed to it? Why has the Mediterranean become the cradle of civil resistance? And how can one make sure that what has begun bears fruit? The author discusses how a strategic action of social movements and activists from both Europe and the Arab world can build the basis for a grassroots project for integration between the two shores, where mobility is at the core: on the one hand, mobility of ideas, activists, men and women of culture and other key-players, and trans-national strategizing; on the other hand, challenging the paradigms of visa policies and striving for a space of safe human mobility as one of the steps of a grassroots Mediterranean citizens project. Providing argument to a new theory of social mobilization, this book will be of interest to scholars of European and Arab politics as well as to political activists in the region. 410 0$aMobility & Politics,$x2731-3875 606 $aComparative government 606 $aEmigration and immigration 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government 606 $aComparative Politics 606 $aHuman Migration 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aMiddle Eastern Politics 615 0$aComparative government. 615 0$aEmigration and immigration. 615 0$aRegionalism. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aMiddle East$xPolitics and government. 615 14$aComparative Politics. 615 24$aHuman Migration. 615 24$aRegionalism. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern Politics. 676 $a320 700 $aSolera$b Gianluca$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$011337 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155310103321 996 $aCitizen Activism and Mediterranean Identity$92188621 997 $aUNINA
