The shifting border: Legal cartographies of migration and mobility: Ayelet Shachar in dialogue

The Border Is One Of The Most Urgent Issues Of Our Times. We Tend To Think Of A Border As A Static Line, But Recent Bordering Techniques Have Broken Away From The Map, As Governments Have Developed Legal Tools To Limit The Rights Of Migrants Before And After They Enter A Country's Territory. The Consequent Detachment Of State Power From Any Fixed Geographical Marker Has Created A New Paradigm: The Shifting Border, An Adjustable Legal Construct Untethered In Space. This Transformation Upsets Our Assumptions About Waning Sovereignty, While Also Revealing The Limits Of The Populist Push Toward Border-fortification. At The Same Time, It Presents A Tremendous Opportunity To Rethink States' Responsibilities To Migrants. This Book Proposes A New, Functional Approach To Human Mobility And Access To Membership In A World Where Borders, Like People, Have The Capacity To Move. -- Part I: Lead Essay. 1 The Shifting Border: Legal Cartographies Of Migration And Mobility -- Ayelet Shachar.
