Publisher's Synopsis

Since 9/11, national governments in the global North have struggled togovern populations and manage cross-border traffic without building newbarriers to trade. What does citizenship mean in an era of heightenedtension between global capitalism and the nation-state? Building onFoucault's concept of biopolitics and an examination of nationalborder and detention policies, Rygiel argues that citizenship isbecoming a globalizing regime to govern mobility. The new regime isdeepening boundaries based on race, class, and gender, and causingWestern nations to embrace a more technocratic, depoliticizedunderstanding of citizenship.
