From Greece to the Alps: solidarity flows along migrants’ trajectories

This chapter explores how transnational solidarity flows are structured and reproduced along the Balkan and the Alpine migratory routes and their dialectical relation to political, social, and economic bordering processes. During their journeys to and across the European space, migrants experience structural restrictions on their (im)mobility and access to their housing rights and labour markets. In this context, grassroots solidarity practices play a central role in building and reshaping social networks, supporting migrants’ agency and capacity for self-determination.
