[1] Outsourcing / Managing Displacement Series

Managing Displacement is a publication series that explores the intricate web of migration management within and beyond Europe’s borders. Those displaced and seeking to live in Europe are met with an increasingly hostile frontier. Each publication begins with a term in order to examine processes that restrict, surveil or obscure displaced people. Throughout, displacement is demonstrated as inseparable from legacies of colonialism and ongoing planetary exploitation. European countries systematically place borders beyond the edges of national boundaries in so-called third countries. As the European Union proliferates its managerial approach to migration, the practice of outsourcing has taken centre stage, leading to routine border violence and the obfuscation of rights of displaced people. How can outsourcing and its effects be challenged?Contributions by: Border Violence Monitoring Network, FRAUD, Nadine El-Enany, Hassan Ould Moctar
