- Supported by two grants from the British Academy (SG-50847 and JP-100035) and a decade of academic investment, this book presents an extended analysis of Europe’s contemporary border regimes. It reflects sustained and creative engagement with philosophical debates about the concept of biopolitics and applies these to offer critical insights into the securitisation of migration and the humanitarianisation of border security in the European context. In a multi-layered investigative process, the author draws on fieldwork at border security industry fairs and close readings of official policy documentation and migrant testimony to both illustrate and reveal the limits of the biopolitical paradigm.
