Abstract

This article explores the mobility/labour nexus in the Republic of Cyprus, a borderland region between Europe and the Middle East and a ‘state of exception’ since its creation. Contrary to perceptions of Cypriot migration policies as rogue aberrations from an idealised European norm, the article contends that zones of legal ambiguity display their own filtering logic towards migrant labour, offering different kinds of constraints and opportunities to migrants.
