More than ever before, questions of movement across borders, displacement and belonging, equality and inequality, membership and otherness have become pressing issues worldwide. Public law structures line-drawing, practices of inclusion and exclusion, borders and boundaries of many kinds raise persistent questions within contemporary domestic, transnational and international public law. During three days, on 126 panels and over 400 presentations this year’s ICON∙S Conference “Border, Otherness and Public Law” will explore these and related themes.
