Biopolitics and (I)migration
Keywords:
biopolitics, (i)legal migration, globalization, integration, bio-power, bio-bordersAbstract
Consideration of migration from the perspective of biopolitics, that is, an attempt to understand migration as a biopolitical process, is one of the basic ideas that the authors sought to put forward in this paper. Starting from the view that migration trends are no longer considered as separate and temporary phenomena, as they are almost conceptualized, but as a permanent issue of modern, social, political and economic life connected with many aspects of globalization, the authors consider the equality of people in the right to mobility, which ascends to the highest level of value – to freedom of movement that becomes a constantly scarce and unequally distributed commodity and a major stratification factor of postmodern time. Also, the paper analyzes the "biopolitics policy" and presents some critical insights into the biopolitical regulation of the migrant and refugee populations through the functioning of biopower mechanisms.
