Queer Coalitions: An Examination of Political Resistance to the Russian Migration Law

Alexander Kondakov

Europe-Asia Studies, 2017, vol. 69, issue 8, 1222-1241

Abstract: Migration policy in Russia is implemented by a variety of actors, such as state officials, market actors, and social activists. In the implementation of migration policy, they inevitably interact with one another. Having examined the categories used by the people involved in the implementation of migration policy, I explore the potential of coalition-building in this process. In order to scrutinise these fluid political forms, I make use of the concept of ‘queer coalitions’. This concept draws on literature in queer theory, which I argue is also productive for the analysis of current political actions in the migration domain.
