Examining the relationship between humanitarianism, human rights,
and security in the governance of borders and migration, this book
analyses the case of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency
(Frontex), challenging the common assumption that humanitarianism
and human rights provide a critical basis for countering
securitisation. Arguing that these are not three opposing
discourses and modes of governing, the author contributes to a
deeper understanding of their connections and combined effects in
border governance. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, interviews,
and document analysis, the book offers three perspectives on
Frontex's changing relationship to humanitarianism and human
rights. In doing so, it provides a multifaceted account of Frontex
and its gradual appropriation of what are often considered
pro-migrant discourses. Combining organisational sociology with a
Foucauldian analysis, the book speaks to ongoing debates on
continuity and change in the security field and provides insights
into studying security organisations more generally. Drawing on
insights from Critical Migration and Border Studies, Critical
Security Studies, Critical Humanitarianism and Human Rights
Studies, and Organisational Sociology, the book will generate
interest to multiple disciplines, including Sociology,
International Relations, Politics, Anthropology, European Studies,
and Geography.
