The Many Beginnings of Operation Sophia: International Law and Literature in the Governance of the EU

Research output: Contribution to Journal › Article › Academic › peer-review

Abstract

Borrowing from literature studies, this article revisits a series of interviews conducted with EU officials who narrated many beginnings of an EU military counter-migrant smuggling operation. The article asks what these many beginnings do together. It argues they together constitute a mode of (un)governance geared towards leaving open maximum room for manoeuvre.
