What kind of a world is one in which border security is understood
as necessary? How is this transforming the shores of politics? And
why does this seem to preclude a horizon of political justice for
those affected? Border Security responds to these questions through
an interdisciplinary exploration of border security, politics and
justice. Drawing empirically on the now notorious case of
Australia, the book pursues a range of theoretical perspectives -
including Foucault's work on power, the systems theory of Niklas
Luhmann and the cybernetic ethics of Heinz Von Foerster - in order
to formulate an account of the thoroughly constructed and political
nature of border security. Through this detailed and critical
engagement, the book's analysis elicits a political alternative to
border security from within its own logic: thus signaling at least
the beginnings of a way out of the cost, cruelty and devaluation of
life that characterises the enforced reality of the world of border
security.
