Mapping Out
Portugal on the European anti-immigrant movements map
The Project
Mapping out is a partnership between Cies-Iscte, Portugal and Prio, Norway, funded by the EEA grants scheme. The project is part of a wider transnational collaboration that focuses on a cutting-edge topic in the migration and social movement’s field: transnational anti-immigration movements. Mapping Out adds to the “Reaching Out to Close the Border: The Transnationalization of Anti-Immigration Movements in Europe (MAM)” project, led by Kristian Berg Harpviken (PRIO), by incorporating the Portuguese case to its analysis. “
