Screening in or out? Surveillance of unwanted humanity across the EU
Routinised surveillance systems are generally regarded as public (and corporate) interference in the privacy of citizens. Yet such comprehensive forms of surveillance intervention can be a counterpart of citizenship rights, and even of the ‘right to have rights’ within EU cities today. This paper is about selective surveillance, here termed screening out, of undocumented people and how it operates inside EU cities today. A 2002 EU Directive on “S…
Citizenship under siege in the brave new Europe
This commentary piece reflects on the range of contributions to this Special Issue, considering the ways in which the European context fails to offer more inclusionary notions of citizenship in the current era. A long-term decline in state legitimacy in Europe and in the UK cannot be offset by the intensified policing of insecurity that is known as the War on Terror. The Global Social Justice movement is considered as an alternative framework for…
Gender, Ethnicity and Political Ideologies
What is Freedom? Competing Notions of Rights & Responsibilities in the French Caribbean
According to Frantz Fanon, decolonisation starts out as ‘a programme of complete disorder’. This idea is interestingly echoed in the Creole expression ‘ce on dezod ka me lod’, which translated means that through chaos comes order. In 1998–1999 Martinique lost 23,000 working days; strikers blockaded the ports of Pointe à Pitre in Guadeloupe and Fort de France in Martinique for several weeks at a time in 1998. Trade unions have built up membership …
Explaining the 1994 genocide in Rwanda
Any adequate account of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda must acknowledge manipulation by external forces, domestic pressures and psychological factors. Even so, the nature of the Rwandan state must be seen as absolutely central. The genocide took place under the aegis of the state, and Rwandans were the main actors involved. Both precolonial legacies and colonial policies contributed to the formation of this state, whose increasingly autocratic and u…
What Has God to Do with Sustainable Development? A Sahelian Dialogue
The Sahel region has become fairly well known as an environmentally vulnerable region where human inventiveness and collective organisation have been able to reverse processes of land degradation, brought about by earlier 'maldevelopment'. This paper sets out to explore schisms between local accounts of the spiritual significance of environmental decay, and regeneration involving interventions by external development agencies. It focuses on the c…

Governance options in Europe's Caribbean dependencies
The remaining Caribbean dependencies of Britain, France and the Netherlands are constitutionally diverse. Yet in none of the territories is there evidence of significant support for independence. Dissatisfaction exists with central control, but this does not produce separatist pressures. On the contrary, there is the general expectation that continued close ties with the metropolitan government can act as a hedge against the unpredictable fortune…

Assimilation, Immigration, Citizenship and Decolonisation
ultimately it is a question of how the great wealth created by hundreds of years of Empire should be divided up. The numbers who stake their claim are many. Those whose claims are recognised are few, and that essentially is the function of immigration law (MacDonald, 1983, p 20). Suppose that...the ‘underdeveloped’ and underprivileged population had not conceptualised their discontent in terms of nationalism, but had simply concentrated on a stru…
