Definition

Publicy is "the response from public institutions a private person is able to elicit" . This concept is commonly understood as the opposite of privacy. This is only true however, in case both concepts relate to one and other in an equilibrium of mutually exclusive bipartition.
The relevance of the publicy concept becomes apparent in the context of cross border migration, describing migrants entering the domain of an unexplored public sphere. Its definition has evolved against a background of interpreting new institutionalism and can be extended by replacing ''person'' by ''agent''.
