The Dublin Regulation and social control in question Ousmane Kouyate

The Dublin Regulation is a mechanism that allows European states to limit migration flows and to filter "real refugees" from economic migrants. This control process has a direct impact on the applicants who are literally labelled and sorted. It touches on the reification, the wandering and the dehumanization of bodies. The manuscript questions not only this loss of identity by detailing the policies that frame this infringement of the rights of foreigners seeking protection, but also and above all, the social stakes of this technology of tracing migrants based on dissuasion.
