In its own tale, EUrope conceives of itself as a post-national and trans-border project, often through tropes of movement and the transgression of borders. In light of this imaginary, the recent mass migrations provoked a serious conundrum. How would this EUropean polity reconcile the dominant idea of itself with its desire to erect barriers to cross-border movements from the ‘Global South’? This article enquires into tensions between, first, Hungary and, second, Italy vis-a-vis the European Commission and other EU member states over the control and regulation of unauthorised migrations in 2015 and 2018. Both examples seem to allude to divergent and conflictual ways of governing migration, often associated with different levels of governance, particularly the supra-national and the national, and different values, particular those of tolerance and intolerance vis-a-vis the ‘migrant other’. While the illusion of ‘EUropean’ and ‘un-EUropean’ ways of governing migration is meant to be kept intact, not least through a recoding of anti-migrant violence, a closer look reveals the deep entanglement of forms of migration governance that has given rise to a thoroughly EUropean border regime. This article points to the need to develop a new conceptual vocabulary in order to capture the EUropeanness of the border.

通过移民治理重塑欧盟

在自己的故事中，EUrope常常通过移动和跨越国界将自己视为一个后国家和跨国项目。根据这种想象，最近的大规模迁徙引发了一个严重的难题。这种欧洲政体如何将自己的主导思想与其为“全球南方”建立跨界运动的障碍的愿望进行调和？本文调查了第一，匈牙利和第二，意大利与欧洲委员会和其他欧盟成员国之间在2015年和2018年对未经授权移民的控制和管制之间的紧张关系。这两个例子似乎都暗示着分歧和冲突治理移民的方式，通常与治理水平不同，尤其是超国家和国家治理以及不同的价值观有关，特别是对“其他移民”的宽容和不宽容。尽管保持“欧盟”和“非欧盟”方式管理移民的幻想是完整的，尤其是通过对反移民暴力的重新编码，但仔细观察可以发现移民治理形式的深深纠结建立起彻底的欧盟边境政权。本文指出，有必要开发一种新的概念性词汇表，以捕捉边界的欧洲性。
