全球北方的不安全和恐惧产生了推进安全措施的政治空间，包括庇护的外部化。全球北方国家使寻求庇护者越来越难以到达他们可能提出难民申请的主权领土。虽然《难民公约》规定的法律保护仍然完好无损，但法外措施利用地理位置限制获得庇护的机会，并通过各种策略将申请人拒之门外。本文探讨了对不请自来的寻求庇护者的恐惧是如何被安全化的，并探讨了用来阻止他们远离联合国难民公约签署国边界的策略。根据欧洲和澳大利亚的研究，我们展示了各国如何通过事实上的新驱回实践来促进“原籍地区保护”。新驱回是指一种基于地理的战略，通过限制进入原则上向难民提供保护的领土来阻止庇护。
Abstract Insecurity and fear in the global North produce political space to advance security measures, including the externalization of asylum. States in the global North make it increasingly difficult for asylum seekers to reach sovereign territory where they might make a refugee claim. While legal protection remains intact under the Refugee Convention, extra-legal measures employ geography to restrict access to asylum and keep claimants at bay through a variety of tactics. This article probes the ways in which fear of uninvited asylum seekers is securitized and looks at the tactics utilized to keep them at bay, far from the borders of states that are signatories to the UN Refugee Convention. Drawing on research in Europe and Australia, we demonstrate how states are promoting ‘protection in regions of origin’ through practices of de facto neo-refoulement. Neo-refoulement refers to a geographically based strategy of preventing asylum by restricting access to territories that, in principle, provide protection to refugees.
