FERREIRA, Susana. The externalization of the European borders and the undesired effects of a dynamic border. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2022, n.75, pp.29-44.  Epub Sep 30, 2022. ISSN 1645-9199.  https://doi.org/10.23906/ri2022.75a03.

The debates on the externalization of the European borders translate a wider theoretical discussion on the transformation of border regimes and about the emergence of migration infrastructures for the management of irregular migration. The development of migration management policies focused on ‘emergency’ in crisis situations suspends common practice and creates a state of exception. In the European case these migration infrastructures generate new forms of governance and result in what some authors call ‘necroborder’. This paper aims to understand the transformations of the European border regime; assess the main elements of European migratory infrastructures; and, inquire how these infrastructures lead to the emergence of a so-called ‘necroborder’.

Keywords : border; border regimes; migratory infrastructures; externalization.
