Thousands of migrants have funnelled their way across country to the small gap in the steel fence unopposed by the authorities. Since the beginning of 2015 the number of migrants using the so-called 'Balkans route' has exploded with migrants arriving in Greece from Turkey and then travelling on through Macedonia and Serbia before entering the EU via Hungary. The number of people leaving their homes in war torn countries such as Syria, marks the largest migration of people since World War II.

It is argued that is important for the development of a politics of mobility.\u00a0To do this it suggests that mobility can be thought of as an entanglement of movement, representation,\u00a0and practice. Following this it argues for a more finely developed politics of mobility that thinks\u00a0below the level of mobility and immobility in terms of motive force, speed, rhythm, route, experience,\u00a0and friction. Finally, it outlines a notion of `constellations of mobility&#8217; that entails considering the\u00a0historical existence of fragile senses of movement, meaning, and practice marked by distinct forms\u00a0of mobile politics and regulation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cresswell, T. 2010.
