Seeing like a Racial State
How do states determine who should be a member of their citizenry, and what logics drive these decisions? In the German context, this question has predominantly been answered through an emphasis on state formation. Through a historical case study of Germany's 1913 citizenship act, this article brings a different set of drivers into view. It situates the making of the 1913 act within German overseas colonialism, the territorial expansion to the Eu…
Countermapping the Carceral Security State
As part of a burgeoning interest in analyses of the colonial roots of contemporary state practices, scholars in the field of International Relations have sought to “decolonize” the study of security. To do so, they have examined how the methods of control and repression that were first developed in the colonies were brought back to the metropole to lay the foundation for the carceral security state. However, by framing the analysis around the con…
Beyond the WDR 's state‐centrism
The 2023 World Development Report, titled Migrants, Refugees, and Societies, analyses the state policies, laws, and labour market forces that determine the ability of migrants to improve their social and economic wellbeing. However, in its analysis the report adopts a state‐centric view, focusing predominantly on the state as the primary actor in the management of migration, thereby eliding a thorough analysis of how formal and informal instituti…
Arresting movement
Across the globe, immigration detention has been marked by physical and psychological abuse. Researchers and activists alike have sought to understand why a seemingly administrative practice such as immigration detention is so violent. To answer this question, the existing scholarship situates immigration detention within the space of legal exceptionalism where the safeguards of regular law do not apply. This, the literature argues, causes the vi…
We try to Humanise their Stories’
How do non-governmental organisations (NGOs) represent migrants and refugees? Based on 24 interviews with staff members of US-based NGOs I show that organisations aim to emphasise migrants’ and refugees’ resilience and to highlight our ‘shared humanity’. While these strategies seemingly mark a break from previous criticisms that NGOs mobilise racialised and gendered narratives of victimhood or model minority achievements which demarcate between t…
Colonial Lives of the Carceral Archipelago
Mass incarceration, police brutality, and border controls are part and parcel of the everyday experiences of marginalized and racialized communities across the world. Recent scholarship in international relations, sociology, and geography has examined the prevalence of these coercive practices through the prism of 'disciplinary,' 'penal,' or 'authoritarian' neoliberalism. In this collective discussion, we argue that although this literature has b…
