Abstract
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-à-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-à-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.
