Over the last two decades, the European border regime has become the subject of a growing body of scholarship in critical security studies. In this article, I draw on Stuart Hall’s work on racialized policing, authoritarian populism and conjunctural analysis to argue that this literature has paid insufficient attention to the close relationship between racism, capitalism and state violence. Writing at the dawn of Thatcherism and neoliberal globalization, Hall theorized the growth in repressive state structures as a revanchist response to breakdowns in racial hegemony. Revisiting these insights, the article argues that the ongoing expansion of the European border regime is a hegemonic strategy of racialized crisis management. The imposition of ever more restrictive immigration policies, increased surveillance and heightened forms of deportability are attempts to defend white bourgeois order and to police a (neoliberal) racial formation in crisis. The migrant ‘crisis’ is ultimately the result of one racialized world order collapsing, and another struggling to be born.

在过去的二十年中，欧洲边境政权已经成为重要安全研究领域越来越多的学者的主题。在本文中，我借鉴了斯图尔特·霍尔（Stuart Hall）关于种族化警务，专制民粹主义和合宪分析的工作，认为该文献对种族主义，资本主义和国家暴力之间的密切关系没有给予足够的重视。在撒切尔主义和新自由主义全球化的曙光中，霍尔将压制性国家结构的增长理论化为对种族霸权崩溃的回应。回顾这些见解，文章认为，欧洲边境政权的不断扩大是种族化危机管理的霸权战略。实行越来越严格的移民政策，加强监视和增强形式的可驱逐性，是捍卫白人资产阶级秩序和在危机中维持（种族）种族形态的尝试。移民的“危机”最终是一种种族化的世界秩序崩溃，而另一种艰难地诞生的结果。
