What Kind of State Are We In?
What Kind of State Are We In?
This chapter summarizes the book’s main themes. It argues that states of migration are capitalizing on crises to advance enforcement agendas that exclude those in search of refuge. Whether viewed from the outside in or the inside out, the state is imagined, enacted, and encountered in our daily lives. In these processes, state borders expand far beyond political boundaries, moving outward to bring into being paradoxical zones and extraterritorial locales of policing and detention. The implications of the knowledge set forth in the book about migration are also discussed. The chapter concludes that the challenges confronting states of migration will not be solved simply, partially, or in times of crisis. Nor will they be solved by shifting the borders of sovereignty.
