What kind of a world is one in which border security is understood as necessary? How is this transforming the shores of politics? And why does this seem to preclude a horizon of political justice for those affected? Border Security responds to these questions through an interdisciplinary exploration of border security, politics and justice.

Drawing empirically on the now notorious case of Australia, the book pursues a range of theoretical perspectives – including Foucault’s work on power, the systems theory of Niklas Luhmann, and the cybernetic ethics of Heinz Von Foerster – in order to formulate an account of the thoroughly constructed and political nature of border security. Through this detailed and critical engagement, the book’s analysis elicits a political alternative to border security from within its own logic: thus signalling at least the beginnings of a way out of the cost, cruelty and devaluation of life that characterises the enforced reality of the world of border security.

Subjects:
Immigration, Asylum, Refugee and Nationality Law
Contents:
Introducing border security’s world: unilateral action, expediency, adiaphorization
1. Border security as power in transformation: action upon action, action in complexity, agency in open systems
2. Border security in jurisdiction, sovereignty, domination (power, authority, state, nation)
3. Shores of politics and horizons of justice: two enabling constraints of sovereign actions and world-making systems
4. Border security as onshore politics: mass media’s agency in compelling spectacle
5. Border security as onshore horizons: enclaving, gentrification, devalued life
6. Offshore politics of border security: Serco, G4S and Transfield in offshore detention
7. Offshore horizons of border security: securing circulation, accumulative mobilities
8. With Cybernetes toward utopia: shores of justice beyond border security’s world?
