In what ways has migration as a field of scholarship contributed to the discipline of International Relations (IR)? How can migration as a lived experience shed light on international politics as a field of interconnections? And how might migration as a political and analytical force compel IR to confront its privileged subjects? This article addresses these questions by focusing specifically on precarious migration from the Global South to the Global North. It shows how critical scholars refuse the suggestion that such migrations pose a ‘global challenge’ or problem to be resolved, considering instead how contemporary practices of governing migration effectively produce precarity for many people on the move. It also shows how critical works point to longer standing racialised dynamics of colonial violence within which such governing practices are embedded, to emphasise both the limitations of liberal humanitarianism as well as the problematic politics of ‘the human’ that this involves. By building on the insights of anti-racist, indigenous and postcolonial scholarship, critical scholars of migration are well placed to draw attention to the privileging of some subjects over others in the study and practice of international politics. The article argues that engaging IR while rejecting the orthodoxies on which the discipline is built remains critical for such works in order to advance understanding of the silences and violences of contemporary international politics.

移民与“人类”的政治:面对 IR 的特权主体

作为学术领域的移民在哪些方面对国际关系 (IR) 学科做出了贡献?作为一种生活经历的移民如何作为相互联系的领域揭示国际政治?移民作为一种政治和分析力量如何迫使 IR 面对其特权主体?本文通过特别关注从全球南方到全球北方的不稳定移民来解决这些问题。它展示了批判性学者如何拒绝此类移民构成“全球挑战”或需要解决的问题的建议,而是考虑当代管理移民的实践如何有效地为许多流动的人带来不稳定。它还展示了批判性作品如何指向长期存在的殖民暴力的种族化动态,其中嵌入了这种治理实践,以强调自由人道主义的局限性以及这涉及到的“人”的问题政治。通过建立在反种族主义、原住民和后殖民学术的洞察力之上,移民问题的批判性学者可以很好地引起人们对国际政治研究和实践中某些学科优先于其他学科的关注。文章认为,在拒绝建立学科的正统观念的同时参与 IR 对此类作品仍然至关重要,以促进对当代国际政治的沉默和暴力的理解。强调自由人道主义的局限性以及由此涉及的“人”的问题政治。通过建立在反种族主义、原住民和后殖民学术的洞察力之上,移民问题的批判性学者可以很好地引起人们对国际政治研究和实践中某些学科优先于其他学科的关注。文章认为,在拒绝建立学科的正统观念的同时参与 IR 对此类作品仍然至关重要,以促进对当代国际政治的沉默和暴力的理解。强调自由人道主义的局限性以及由此涉及的“人”的问题政治。通过建立在反种族主义、原住民和后殖民学术的洞察力之上,移民问题的批判性学者可以很好地引起人们对国际政治研究和实践中某些学科优先于其他学科的关注。文章认为,在拒绝建立学科的正统观念的同时参与 IR 对此类作品仍然至关重要,以促进对当代国际政治的沉默和暴力的理解。移民问题的批判学者很适合提请注意在国际政治的研究和实践中某些学科优先于其他学科。文章认为,在拒绝建立学科的正统观念的同时参与 IR 对此类作品仍然至关重要,以促进对当代国际政治的沉默和暴力的理解。移民问题的批判学者很适合提请注意在国际政治的研究和实践中某些学科优先于其他学科。文章认为,在拒绝建立学科的正统观念的同时参与 IR 对此类作品仍然至关重要,以促进对当代国际政治的沉默和暴力的理解。
