| Title | Blaming the mountains. Negligence, deterrence, and humanitarianism as noncoercive bordering practices |
| Summary | As some countries reintroduced border controls inside the Schengen area, illegalization of mobility arises inside the EU. For people traveling to Europe, the passage from the country of arrival to a second one is restricted by the Dublin regulation, which is poorly used as justification to refuse entry to national territories, as it happens in France. Given this context where ‘secondary movements’ are conceived as forms of mobility to be controlled, this thesis focuses on the strategies employed by the Italian authorities to deal with the presence of border crossers in the Occidental Alps. Tracing the state interventions at the border zone, I argue that the control of mobility does not always imply the use of coercion. |
