Moving across National-Linguistic Borders: The Migration–Crisis Nexus in Germany, Poland and Greece

The following section consists of three short essays that discuss the interconnections between crisis and migration in Germany, Poland and Greece. In each case, the commissioned authors were asked to pay particular attention to how the local terms of ‘crisis’ in their respective countries have informed and shaped public debates and representations about migration during the last decade. As well as offering reflections on the variations in the migration–crisis nexus in three different national contexts, the essays all allude to the different historical, political and social conditions in which the equivalents of crisis – here Krise, kryzys and κρίση – have emerged and been deployed in public discourse.
