This article brings insights from Critical Border Studies (CBS) to bear on the diverse and proliferating borderings that have characterised the EU’s migration crisis. It harnesses the broad ontological and empirical scope of ‘Borderscapes’ scholarship to make coherent sense of seemingly disparate, plural borderings without eliding their diversity or particularity. It conceptualises the ‘borderscape’ as being constituted by ‘related arrays’ of bordering features, discourses and practices. This analytical framework is complemented by an interpretive framework that distinguishes the borderscape from other sociopolitical phenomena while contextualising it in relation to wider political concerns. The conceptualisation encourages nuanced yet cogent analysis of proliferating (in)securities, (im)mobilities and borderings, as well as their political implications: for identity, subjectivity, order and governance. The article thus offers a way to make sense of diverse manifestations, representations and analyses and of Europe’s migration crisis—and provides a tool for making policy recommendations to address their negative consequences.

本文从“临界边界研究”（CBS）得出的见解，以欧盟移民危机为特征的多样且激增的边界。它利用“边界景观”奖学金的广泛本体论和经验范围来使看似不同的复数边界具有连贯的含义，而不会影响其多样性或特殊性。它把“边界景观”概念化为由边界特征，话语和实践的“相关阵列”构成。这种分析框架得到了解释框架的补充，该框架将边界景观与其他社会政治现象区分开来，同时又将其与更广泛的政治关注联系起来。概念化鼓励对不断增加的（不安全），（不安全）机动性和边界进行细致入微的分析，以及它们的政治含义：对于身份，主观性，秩序和治理。因此，本文提供了一种理解各种表现形式，表征和分析以及欧洲移民危机的方法，并提供了提出政策建议以解决其负面影响的工具。
