Controversial Nature

Martin Geiger & Antoine Pécoud (eds.), Disciplining the Transnational Mobility of People, Palgrave Macmillan, 2013, 271 pp., (ISBN 978-1-137-26306-3).In the last decades a very diverse range of initiatives have been undertaken in order to intensify and diversify the ways human mobility is managed and restricted. This trend towards a ‘diversification’ of the migration control strategies stems from the increased awareness by the nation-states of the profoundly controversial nature of the migration management enterprise because of its political, economic, social and moral implications.

The Way

In an era of mass mobility, those who are permitted to migrate and those who are criminalized, controlled, and prohibited from migrating are heavily patterned by race. By placing race at the centre of its analysis, this volume brings together fourteen essays that examine, question, and explain the growing intersection between criminal justice and migration control. Through the lens of race, we see how criminal justice and migration enmesh in order to exclude, stop, and excise racialized citizens and non-citizens from societies across the world within, beyond, and along borders. Neatly organized in four parts, the book begins with chapters that present a conceptual analysis of race, borders, and social control, moving to the institutions that make up and shape the criminal justice and migration complex. The remaining chapters are convened around the key sites where criminal justice and migration control intersect: policing, courts, and punishment. Together the volume presents a critical and timely analysis of how race shapes and complicates mobility and how racism is enabled and reanimated when criminal justice and migration control coalesce. Race and the meaning of race in relation to citizenship and belonging are excavated throughout the chapters presented in the book, thereby transforming the way we think about migration.

The Uk

Many accounts of resistance within systems of migration control pivot upon a coherent migrant subject, one that is imbued with political agency and posited as oppositional to particular forms of sovereign power. Drawing upon ethnographic research into the role of creativity within the UK asylum system, I argue that grounding resistance with a stable, coherent and agentic subject, aligns with oppositional narratives (of power vs resistance), and thereby risks negating the entangled politics of the (in)coherence of subject formation, and how this can contain the potential to disrupt, disturb or interrupt the practices and premise of the UK asylum system. I suggest that charity groups and subjects should not be written out of narratives of resistance apriori because they engage with ‘the state’: firstly, because to argue that there is a particular form that resistance should take is to place limits around what counts as the political; and secondly, because to ‘remain oppositional’ is at odds with an (in)coherent subject. I show how accounts which highlight a messy and ambiguous subjectivity, could be bought into understandings of resistance. This is important because as academics, we too participate in the delineation of the political and what counts as resistance. In predetermining what subjects, and forms of political action count as resistance we risk denying recognition to those within this system.

Administrative Responsibility

In the article are considered the grounds for the application of three types of removal of foreign citizens and stateless persons in case of violation of migration legislation. These are administrative expulsion, deportation and readmission. The necessity of changing the current legislation and preserving only administrative expulsion (as a measure of administrative responsibility), deportation (in the event of expulsion of persons released from places of deprivation of liberty, in respect of whom decisions on the undesirability of stay (residence) in Russia have been made) and readmission (as a method of transferring persons subject to administrative expulsion and deportation) has been substantiated. The analysis of the grounds and timing of closure of entry to foreign citizens in case of violation of migration legislation made it possible to conclude that there is no clear system. Examples of judicial practice are given, illustrating the different approach of judges when bringing foreigners to administrative responsibility. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop and implement an "Automated Information Migration Control System" which, taking into account all the circumstances, would offer the most fair decision in relation to a violator of Russian migration legislation. Subsequently, it is proposed to develop and implement a rating system for foreign citizens, which would allow bringing to administrative responsibility and setting the entry closure period of migrants, taking into account their raiting.
