Opis

Policing Mobility Regimes offers a systematic analysis of the impact that Frontex is having on migration control strategies at the EU level and offers a detailed empirical description of the agency’s organization and operational activities.

Recenzje

"In a truly transdisciplinary feat, Campesi has mobilized the disciplines of international relations, European law, and the social sciences, to project an impressive light on the processes of construction of a new European Leviathan through the lens of FRONTEX, the new ‘European Border Agency’, for the first time scrutinized in all its many, and often peculiar, dimensions."

Dario Melossi, Professor of Criminology, University of Bologna

"This book is a must-read for anyone interpelled to critically engage and gain a better understanding of the complex multilevel border regimes in the European Union. Through the lenses of an in-depth study of the EU Frontex Agency, the book compellingly shows how emerging 'EU policing mobility regimes' feature inherent controversies affecting their legitimation. These relate to their intrinsic antinomies with the safeguarding of individuals' human dignity and democratic rule of law principles which lay at the roots of the EU constitutional framework."

Sergio Carrera, Head of the Justice and Home Affairs Programme at CEPS　

"Since its establishment in 2005 Frontex has deeply reframed the management of European borders, orchestrating the operations of national and private actors within an emerging ‘post-national’ pattern. Giuseppe Campesi provides a brilliant and compelling analysis of such shift, focusing both on the agency itself and on the ensuing implications for matters of space, security, social stratification and hierarchies. A must-read for anyone interested in border, security, migration, and EU studies."

Sandro Mezzadra, co-author of Border as Method, or, the Multiplication of Labor
