The study uses survey data from 2018 to highlight differences in border security attitudes between local and national populations.
The research applies a critical political sociology perspective to analyze migration narratives and public perceptions.
The narrative of 'transboundary crises' often justifies harsh border policies, despite the absence of an actual crisis in the region.
