Scientific Study from the year 2022 in the subject Communications - Media and Politics, Politic Communications, , language: English, abstract: The pandemic caused by COVID-19 virus posed challenges not solely for governments and societies, but also for people in contexts of suffering. The pandemic has also been used by European authorities as a justification for the continuing application of violent security procedures of containment against people fleeing to Europe via Mediterranean Sea routes, which contributed to the cause of countless deaths at high sea. This study describes such security procedures as the political causes of a ¿not-in-my-backyard¿ (NIMBY) phenomenon, which can be challenged by digital activism, given its potential for the promotion of public engagement in the protection of human rights. To test this assumption, this study aims to evaluate the net impact of the digital efforts undertaken by Sea-Watch to promote public engagement in the context of the migration flows in the Mediterranean Sea. For this, the following paper is divided into three parts. The first outlines the NIMBY phenomenon that resides within the European border regime. The second revolves around the possibilities for digital activism to become a countermeasure against the NIMBY phenomenon. The third evaluates, through 3-dimensional models, how far Sea-Watch came as a promoter of online public engagement after the outbreak of the pandemic in Europe.
