| Title | Humanitarian Duty and Security Goals Intertwined:The Case of Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration Programs in Bulgaria |
| Summary | The main components of migration management, namely humanitarianism, seen in the compassionate will to look after those seeking protection, and securitization, seen in the desire to guard and secure the state territory from those that intrude, are often regarded as two opposites that contradict each other. In the pages that follow I analyze the dialectical relation between the two and examine the subjectivities that are being produced in the process and attached to migrants. To do this, I examine Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration programs (AVRR) in Bulgaria. I look into the political and economic rationalities behind AVRR and the ways in which the gatekeepers of humanity, seen in the face of human rights non-profit organization, justify their involvement in what has been often criticized as a deportation with a human face. |
