Sabrina Ellebrecht engages with two of its primary building sites--the European Border Surveillance System (Eurosur) and the Refugee Boat. She analyzes how the function and quality of the EU's current political border is crafted, shaped, produced and eventually stabilized through these two mediators. Eurosur and the Refugee Boat catalyze and craft a level of Europeanization that has hitherto--and would otherwise have been--impossible. While Eurosur mobilizes the limits of border policing in various ways, the Refugee Boat functions as the vacillating European Other to legitimize both control and humanitarian interventions. The study shows the specific, if not constitutive, ambivalences of EU border policies, and explores the emergence of "viapolitics." --Amazon.com. 610 20 European Union. |=^A1390026 651 0 European Union countries |xBoundaries. |=^A356651 650 0 Border security |xGovernment policy |zEurope. |=^A880602 650 0 Refugees |zEurope. |=^A1123231 949 Order on Demand |wASIS |hJOYNER219 960 |o1 |s60.00 |uJPOS |zUSD 961 |fDMD |m138099 596 1 998 5523591
