Abstract
Migrant flows and refugees have become a matter of high international politics, as the migration/security nexus has linked international migration to threatening states’ ontological security. Borders are strengthened via external control, but also internal control of non-citizens, notably through the construction of migrant camps deemed incompatible with both EU and international agreements on international migration according to human rights specialists. This master thesis aims to analyse the process that led to the political and technocratic trivialization of the marginalisation of migrants in camps, both formal and informal. In other words, it questions “how has the migrant camp’s exceptionality been institutionalised and used as the norm?”
