摘要: Migration is an increasingly contested field. As global inequalities widen, and potential mobilities develop, states are pouring more money into border control than ever before. This has led to the proliferation of new technologies enforcement that reconfiguring itself: from smart borders risk-manage flows people, goods information (Amoore, 2006), graduated sovereignty renders citizenship flexible selective (Ong, 2000; Salter, 2008), disparate controls extend state well beyond its territory (Clayton, 2010; Mountz, 2010). Discussion about migration control, regimes politics highlighted profound contradictions between liberal democratic espousals freedom equality reality exclusionary immigration policies (Bauder, 2003a; Conlon Gill, 2013). The hypocritical formations race, patriarchy, colonialism underpin law associate acts with criminality have been roundly critiqued (Tyler, Coleman, 2012; Mains, Gilmartin, Cullen, Mohammad, Tolia-Kelly, Raghuram Winders 2013; Moran, Gill Conlon, Loyd, Mitchelson Burridge, 2012). Crucial this discussion, as Bauder points out, we continue fundamentally “question existing regime regulating international movement people” (2003b: 218).
