| Content | This lecture series explores how governments project repressive force across borders to surveil, pressure, silence and harm their own diasporas and exiles as well as other perceived critics and enemies overseas. The range of means pursued by governments includes cyberattacks, digital threats and phishing attempts, coercion by proxy (most often via family members), Interpol abuse, refugee espionage, but also physical violence, even illegal deportations, forced repatriation and assassinations. Leading voices from a range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary backgrounds and focusing on countries such as China, India or Turkey present their research and engage in discussion with the participants. Throughout the lecture series, we aim at understanding the phenomena in their diversity and reflect on the crucial question of how liberal democracies can and should react to these challenges. |
