Arrangement

The Norwegian Institute of International Affairs, has the pleasure of inviting you to a theory seminar with Prof. Dr. Markus-Michael Müller, Freie Universität Berlin:

Policing, Lawfare and Resistance at Mexico City’s New Urban Frontier

In  this theory seminar, Professor Müller will present a paper analysing neoliberal urban renewal processes in Mexico City's historic downtown, the related legal and policing strategies as well as resulting patterns of citizen-police relations. The paper highlights how local actors invent and apply multiple forms of open and hidden resistance to confront the encroachment of neoliberal “urban revanchism” and related police operations in their neighborhoods.
