Europe's Border Crisis explores current dynamics in EU border
security and migration management. It argues that a crisis point
has emerged because 'irregular' migrants are seen as both a
security threat to the EU and also as a life threatened and in need
of protection. This leads to paradoxical situations whereby
humanitarian policies and practices expose 'irregular' migrants to
often dehumanizing and sometimes lethal border security mechanisms.
The dominant way of understanding these dynamics - one that blames
a gap between policy and practice - fails to address the deeper
issues at stake and ends up perpetuating the terms of the crisis.
Drawing on conceptual resources in biopolitical theory the book
offers an alternative diagnosis and sets out a new research agenda
for the interdisciplinary field of critical border and migration
studies.
