Professor Denis Duez recently published a pivotal study in the French-language journal Raisons Politiques. Below, we provide an English summary of his findings on the ‘fiction of non-entry’ and links to the Open Access French text via CAIRN and DIAL.
What is this publication about?
(translated from the original French version)
Border control is generally claimed to be a discretionary prerogative of sovereignty. This idea, first articulated by the US Supreme Court in cases concerning the exclusion of Chinese and Japanese nationals from US territory, has become so widespread that it now stands as a principle that needs to be deconstructed.
By examining, through the lens of law and political theory, the contemporary reconfigurations of borders, their fortification, and their shifts within or beyond states, this dossier radically questions the policies that organise and justify the enclosure of territory and the civic community, and thus explores alternative approaches to sovereignty.
