Saving Lives At Sea: Security, Law and Adverse Effects

In the wake of recent shipwrecks at the Strait of Sicily, the European Union and its Member States have come under renewed pressure to address rescue at sea. Saving lives at sea is not simply a question of enhancing EU rescue efforts, however, but requires eliminating third party sanctions that significantly impede the proper functioning of the international rescue regime. This article focuses on anti-smuggling laws and related instruments and their thorny relation to humanitarian acts. To improve rescue efforts at sea, as a first step all humanitarian acts need to be exempted from criminal sanctions. This needs to be accompanied by efforts to desecuritize rescue, separating rescue from border security concerns

Security, Law, Borders: Spaces of Exclusion

Politics of borders and the distinction between inside/outside have become an important security practice of liberal states. Borders are strategically used to change the balance between security and liberties. This article analyzes the legal constitution of border zones and argues that security is not exceptional in its constitution but results from ordinary law and practices. Illiberal practices at border zones are embedded in ordinary politics of the liberal state

International Political Sociology – Transversal Lines

This book presents an overview and evaluation of contemporary research in international political sociology (IPS). Bringing together leading scholars from many disciplines and diverse geographical backgrounds, it provides unprecedented coverage of the key concepts and research through which IPS has opened up new ways of thinking about international relations. It also considers some of the consequences of such innovations for established forms of social and political analysis. It thus takes the reader on an intellectual journey engaging with questions about boundaries and limits among the many interrelated worlds in which we now live, the ways we conceptualise them, and how we continually reshape boundaries of identities, spaces, authorities and disciplinary knowledg

Security Practices

This essay adopts a sociological approach to security. It develops an international political sociology of securitypractices, subsuming elements from constructivist approaches to security, such as the Aberystwyth, Copenhagen, andParis approaches (Wæver 2004; c.a.s.e. collective 2006; Bigo 2008). Following the path of a collective intellectual,discussing in an interdisciplinary way security, liberty, migration, and development, this essay has been written by acollective group of five authors. This collective is part of a larger collective group, called the c.a.s.e. collective, whichhas already published a long manifesto providing a critique of traditional approaches to security, exclusively groundedin international relations and political science. We will not repeat here the different arguments against the Realist,Liberal, and English Schools of security studies as we prefer to build a new space for thought and discussion whichtakes what practices of security are and what they do seriously.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
