• On technologies of control of foreigners

  20 April 2009, by Makaremi Chowra
  Security concerns and the tension between the movement of human capital and the will of welfare states to control migration at their borders have led the European Union to set extra-territorial zones of detention for the purpose of border control in the last 20 years. Practices of control over the movement of people have thus created contested spaces of sovereignty at the borders, populated by a «floating population» of asylum seekers and undocumented migrants to be deported.

• European Vessels, African Territorial Waters and ‘Illegal Emigrants’: The Right to Leave and the Principle of (Il)legality in a Global Regime of Mobility

  30 December 2008, by Cornelisse Galina
  Analyses of the legal challenges posed by the interception of migrants, be it in the territorial waters of sending states or the high seas, have predominantly focused on the rights of refugees and non-refoulement. However, a focus on the wider implications of this specific form of externalisation and the international legal framework in which it takes place is much called for. In order to evaluate the remarkable discursive shift from illegal immigration to illegal migration in European policies, an overview of the legal norms regulating international movement is indispensable.

• The External Dimension of EU Justice and Home Affairs: Tools, Processes, Outcomes

  6 October 2008, by Balzacq Thierry
  This working document offers a conceptual framework for understanding the processes underpinning the external dimension of EU Justice and Home Affairs (ED-JHA). Practically, it defines how the export of JHA principles and norms inform the geopolitical ambitions of the EU, i.e. the use of space for political purposes, or the control and management of people, objects and movement. The author begins by investigating how the ENP reconfigures the ED-JHA, and then goes on to discuss various conceptual stances on governance, specifically institutionalism, constructivism, and policy instruments.
