Contents:
1 Introduction: Security/ Mobility and the politics of movement -- 1 Prologue: Movement then and now -- 2 Connectivity as problem: security, mobility, liberals, and Christians -- Part I: Things on the move -- 3 The power of cyberspace centralisation: analysing the example of data territorialisation -- 4 Commercialised occupation skills: Israeli security experience as an international brand -- 5 Mobility, circulation, and homeomorphism: data becoming risk information -- Part II: People on the move -- 6 'Illegals' in the Law School of Athens: public presence, discourse, and migrants as threat -- 7 The management of African asylum seekers and the imaginary of the border in Israel -- 8 Reinventing political order? A discourse view on the European Community and the abolition of border controls in the second half of the 1980s -- Part III: Circumscribing movement -- 9 Gender (in)securities: surveillance and transgender bodies in a post- 9/11 era of neoliberalism -- 10 One thing left on the checklist: ontological coordination and the assessment of consistency in asylum requests -- 11 Modelling the self, creating the other: French denaturalisation law on the brink of World War II -- Epilogue -- 12 Unpacking the new mobilities paradigm: lessons for critical security studies?
Summary: Mobility and security are key themes for students of international politics that assume a globalized world. This book brings together research that looks into the political regulation of movement with research that engages the material enablers of and constraints on such movement. The setup of the book explores overlaps between critical security studies and political geography in order to bridge the gap between disciplines that study aspects of global modernity and its politics and practices. The contributions to this book cover a broad range of topics that are bound together by their focus on both the politics and the material underpinnings of movement. The authors engage diverse themes such as internet infrastructure, the circulation of data, discourses of borders and bordering, bureaucracy, and citizenship, thereby identifying common themes of Security/Mobility today.
