TL;DR: Migration is increasingly interpreted as a security problem as mentioned in this paper, which is not an expression of traditional responses to a rise of insecurity, crime, terrorism, and the negative effects of globalization; it is the result of the creation of a continuum of threats and general unease in which many different actors exchange their fears and beliefs in the process of making a risky and dangerous society.

TL;DR: In this paper, a distinction between war, defence, international order and strategy, and another universe of crime, internal security, public order and police investigations is made, and a discussion of the relations between defence and internal security should be aligned in the new context of global (in)security.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the evolution of critical views of approaches to security studies in Europe, discuss their theoretical premises, investigate their intellectual ramifications, and examine how they coalesce around different issues (such as a state of exception).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that practices of control are routinely embedded in a practical sense that informs what controlling borders does and means, which is itself informed by different professional habitus and work routines involving deterrence and the use of force, interrogation and detention, surveillance of populations on the move and profiling of (un)trusted travellers.

TL;DR: Bigo and Elspeth as discussed by the authors discuss policing in the name of freedom and the legal framework of European labour migration, where does the State actually start? The contemporary governance of work and migration, John Crowley Looking at migrants as enemies.
