Abstract

This panel critically examines contemporary European bordering and asylum regimes, focusing on the disjunction between humanitarian commitments and securitized practices. The papers included in the panel analyze various institutional, legal, and everyday sites of governance to understand how migration control is enacted through decoupling and discretion, often undermining rights, protection, responsibility and visibility.
