| Samenvatting: | On November 9th 1989, the Berlin Wall fell, marking what many hoped would be a new era of cooperation across borders. German President Horst Koehler celebrating its demise spoke of an 'edifice of fear' replaced by a 'place of joy', opening up the possibility of a cooperative global governance which benefits everyone'. 30 years later, the opposite seems to have happened. Edifices of fear, both real and imaginary, are being constructed everywhere fueling a rise in xenophobia and creating a far more dangerous walled world for refugees fleeing for safety.
This report reveals that member states of the European Union and the Schengen area have constructed almost 1000 km of walls, the equivalent of more than six times the total length of the Berlin Walls. Since the nineties to prevent displaced people migrating into Europe. These physical walls are accompanied by even longer 'maritime walls', border control systems that seek tot stop people entering or even traveling within Europa, and control movement of population, Europa has turned itself in the process into a fortress excluding those outside – and in the process also increased its use of surveillance and militarized technologies that has implications for its citizens within the walls. |
