Saskia Sassen will give a keynote lecture in the framework of her new publication 'Expulsions - Brutality and Complexity in the Global Economy'.

Saskia Sassen's research and writing focuses on globalisation (including social, economic and political dimensions), immigration, global cities (including cities and terrorism), the new technologies, and changes within the liberal state that result from current transnational conditions. In each of the three major projects that comprise her 20 years of research, Sassen starts with a thesis that posits the unexpected and the counterintuitive in order to cut through established "truths".
