Shaped by the criminalization of migration and control over movement, the Balkan Route has emerged as a key site of border violence and migrant resistance along the southeastern edges of the European Union. Keywords of the Balkan Route explores the vocabularies structuring this regime by tracing the meanings, overlaps, and tensions of terms such as Autonomy, Route, Waiting, Game, and Solidarity. Featuring contributors from Croatia, Slovenia, and Serbia, the volume draws on ethnographic research and interdisciplinary approaches to examine restricted mobilities and border struggles through critically engaged perspectives and experimental analytical formats.
