izens by quoting the main legal grounds for expulsion such as threat to public policy,
public security and public health, abuse of rights or fraud and unreasonable burden
on the social assistance system of the host Member States. Morawski argues that
economically inactive Union citizens are not protected enough against expulsion,
despite the existing safeguards. Since no conviction is required, the mere suspicion
of a breach of the order is sufficient to constitute a threat to public policy. The recent
refugee crisis and some events surrounding the Brexit, such as the requirements of
the United Kingdom to condition the freedom of movement of mobile workers, is
however, much more worrisome, according to Marowski. Such a step would destroy
the fundamental right of freedom of movement of Union citizens that has existed
since the foundation of the EEC for mobile workers.
In her article From Migrations to New Mobilities in the European Union: Italians
in Berlin Between Anomie and Multi-situated Identity, Daniele Valisena argues that
Italian newcomers in Berlin are representatives of a new phenomenon called new
mobility originating from the 2008 economic crisis. The crisis revealed not only the
economic contradictions and disparities between North and South Europe, but also
cut the bond that tied a generation of young, highly skilled workers and globalized
multicultural people, to their countries, giving them the opportunity to leave and
to enter in a brand new pattern of life that, for its specificities can not be identified
as a traditional migration flow.
Valisena claims that in regards to migration history, neither push and pull, nor political
and economic paradigms can explain this new migration wave. In the same
way, chain migration, melting pot or diasporic models, as well as ethnic analysis do
not seem to be able to totally comprehend this new phenomenon.

describes the experiences of Italian graduate students currently pursuing Master or
PhD programmes at the University of Leuven, Belgium and those of the second/
third generation students enrolled at the University of Leuven. The research unfolds
and compares the two groups’ conceptions of Italy, especially focusing on two
issues: how is Italy ‘imagined’ and how do these imaginaries open up to various
courses of action.
