Introduction : Struggles to land in states of migration -- Human smuggling and refugee protection -- Seeing borders like a state -- Ethnography of the state -- Crisis and the making of the bogus refugee -- Stateless by geographical design -- In the shadows of the state -- What kind of state are we in?

Sommario/riassunto

This study draws from many sources to argue that refugee-receiving states capitalise on crises generated by high-profile human smuggling events to implement restrictive measures designed to regulate migration. Whether states view themselves as powerful actors who can successfully exclude outsiders or as vulnerable actors in need of stronger policies to repel potential threats, they end up subverting access to human rights, altering laws, and extending power beyond their own borders.
