This article traces the historical foundations of current security legislation as the matrix of citizenship. Examining Israel’s new Counter-Terrorism Law against the backdrop of security legislation in India, its main proposition is that these laws and their effects are rooted in colonial emergency regulations and the bureaucratic mechanisms for population control developed therein, rather than in the ‘global war on terror’. The article offers an organizational vantage point from which to understand the development of population-classification practices in terms of an ‘axis of suspicion’ that conflates ‘political risk’ with ‘security risk’. Through an account of the formalization of emergency laws, it explains the effects of colonial bureaucracies of security upon independent regimes seeking legitimacy as new democracies by tracing decisions regarding the use of an inherited arsenal of colonial and settler-colonial practices of security laws for population management, particularly mobility restrictions, surveillance and political control. One of the most important of these effects is the shaping of the citizenship of targeted populations by security laws.

管理“危险人群”：殖民紧急状态法如何塑造公民身份

本文追溯了当前作为公民身份矩阵的安全立法的历史基础。在印度安全立法的背景下审视以色列新的反恐法，其主要主张是这些法律及其效力植根于殖民紧急法规和其中发展起来的人口控制官僚机制，而不是“全球战争”。恐怖'。这篇文章提供了一个组织的有利位置，从中可以根据将“政治风险”与“安全风险”混为一谈的“怀疑轴”来理解人口分类实践的发展。通过对紧急状态法的正式化的说明，它通过追溯有关将继承的殖民和定居者-殖民安全法的做法用于人口管理，特别是流动限制、监视和政治控制的决定，解释了殖民安全官僚机构对寻求作为新民主国家合法性的独立政权的影响。其中最重要的影响之一是通过安全法塑造目标人群的公民身份。
