Pathways to Europe.Migration and Democracy is a forum of debate on migration in and to Europe, aimed at drawing together philosophical perspectives with political, legal and sociological analyses. The blog is edited by a group of researchers working together within the intra-European research Project Norms and Values in the European Migration and Refugee Crisis (NoVaMigra), but aims to provide a platform for a variety of authors and views. We welcome contributions from relevant disciplines on current issues and developments in the field of migration, asylum and European integration.

We encourage perspectives from different locations in Europe and are glad to publish reflections on national events pertaining to wider European developments. Literature reviews and conference reports are also welcome, as are requests to advertise relevant public events or calls for papers.

Submissions may be made in English or in another European language. If a language other than English is used, please include a two to three sentence teaser of your article in English. Blog posts are aimed at a wider political public and should not normally  exceed 1000 words in length.

In-text-citations should be used where appropriate. Please cite literature references using the author-date system as follows:

• One author: (Crawley 2015)
• Two authors: (Sigona and Zetter 2014)
• More than two authors: (Fiddian-Qasmiyeh et al. 2014)
• Multiple citations: (Gibney 1999; Miller 2008)
