关于欧洲移民政策的大多数关键讨论都围绕“欧洲堡垒”的概念，并将边界的概念理解为封锁不必要的移民流动的一种方式。然而，民族志研究，例如我们在东南欧进行的多地点实地研究，清楚地表明，移民每天都在跨越边界。这些发现指出了堡垒比喻的缺点。通过在边界概念化中突出移民的作用，我们建议以流动性斗争为起点，了解边界是如何形成的。在我们为期两年的跨学科研究项目“过境移民”的背景下，欧洲移民和边境政策不能再被概念化为仅仅以预防移民为导向。由于移民每天都会跨越边境，如果边境的渗透性成为他们工作方式的一部分，会发生什么？如果是这样，我们就必须重新研究边境政策和实践的机制。一是边界或移民制度的概念。另一个是移民自治的概念。我们的民族志政权分析概念基于跨学科方法，包括政治研究、人类学和社会学。
Most critical discussions of European immigration policies are centered around the concept of Fortress Europe and understand the concept of the border as a way of sealing off unwanted immigration movements. However, ethnographic studies such as our own multi-sited field research in South-east Europe clearly show that borders are daily being crossed by migrants. These findings point to the shortcomings of the Fortress metaphor. By bringing to the fore the agency of migrants in the conceptualization of borders, we propose to understand how borders are being shaped by taking as a starting point the struggles of mobility. Against the background of our two-year transdisciplinary research project TRANSIT MIGRATION European migration and border policies cannot be longer conceptualized as being simply oriented towards the prevention of migration. Since migrants cross the borders daily, what happens if the borders’ permeability is part of the way they work? If so, we have to investigate the mechanisms of border policies and practices anew. One is the concept of the border or migration regime. The other is the concept of the autonomy of migration. Our concept of ethnographic regime analyses is based on a transdisciplinary approach, comprising political studies, anthropology and sociology.
