Abstract: Privatization and securitization are quietly transforming the European Union's immigration and asylum policies and practices into a parallel regime of extra-legality. The forced migrant to Europe is increasingly hostage to a tight "migration-security nexus". The European Union not only outsources its border control activities to private security concerns but it also consults the security industry on the direction of its policies, adopting its discourse and practices. It is using the industry's expertise to meld member states' border technology into an apparatus of detection and deterrence that stretches far beyond the region to intercept forced migrants long before they reach its borders. As a consequence, Europe's border control agency, Frontex, and its private security partners not only patrol outside Europe's geopolitical boundaries but also appear free to operate outside national legal structures, and without regard to either refugee rights or international human rights legislation.
Fran Cetti is a Visiting Research Fellow at the Centre for Research on Migration, Refugees and Belonging (CRMB). Her doctoral research at the University of East London concerned the framing of forced migration in the discourse of terror and its impact on European identity. She has contributed to a number of publications on asylum and the European 'security state', the extra-legal practices of European border control, and migration and the nature of European identity.
