Abstract

The ongoing invasion of Ukraine has transformed the landscape of European migration, making Ukrainians the largest group of arriving asylum-seekers. This group is distinct by its demographic makeup - predominantly women, the elderly, and children - and its unprecedented transborder mobility. In this presentation, I reflect on the controversy in migration studies as regards the differential treatment of Ukrainians refugees, as opposed to other groups of asylum-seekers, and propose to consider this new refugee regime as an experiment into “Post-Dublin" Europe.
