TL;DR: New Keywords: Migration and Borders as discussed by the authors is a collaborative writing project aimed at developing a nexus of terms and concepts that fill-out the contemporary problematic of migration, which moves beyond traditional and critical migration studies by building on cultural studies and post-colonial analyses by drawing on a diverse set of longstanding author engagements with migrant movements.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors trace a genealogy of the use of the term "hotspot" in policy documents and suggest that the multiplication of hotspots-like spaces is related to a reconceptualisation of the border as a critical site that requires prompt enforcement intervention.

TL;DR: There has been an unrelenting proliferation of official discourses of "crisis" and "emergency" over the past several years as discussed by the authors and the historical era for our concerns may be understood to properly commence with the enunciation of an effectively global state of emergency with the promulgation of the "war on terror" in the aftermath of the events of September 11, 2001, in the United States, which marked a watershed in the reconfiguration of the global geopolitical landscape of the post- Cold War world order.

TL;DR: In the last two decades, we have witnessed a proliferation of studies on migration that, taking human mobility as their focus, contributed to the profiling of migrations as an object of research and to the institutionalization of its stakes as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors look at the military-humanitarian mode of migration management that this operation performs from three vantage points: logistics, with a focus on the infrastructure of migrant travels; subjectivity, looking at the migrant profiles this operation works through; and epistemology, building on the mission's first stage of intelligence and data gathering.
