从离岸边境执法到偏远岛屿上的拘留中心，围绕人口走私、拘留、庇护和相关政策的斗争沿着民族国家的地理边缘展开。在本文中，我认为岛屿是更广泛的拘留群岛执法的一部分，这是一种控制移民的策略。岛屿的执法措施阻止、拘留和转移来自主权领土海岸的移民。因此，岛屿是领土斗争的关键场所，民族国家利用距离、不可见性和次国家管辖地位（Baldacchino & Milne, 2006）来实现Ong（2006）的“主权分级区”。在给移民的法律地位带来模糊性的地方，国家和非国家行为体谈判并阐明了构成流动性的地缘政治安排。这项研究通过考察主权和生物政治权力来追踪遥远而独特的地点的模式，这些权力困扰着被拘留在岛上的寻求庇护者。离岸拘留反过来又推动了主权领土内部在岸拘留实践中采用的空间战略。(C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
From offshore border enforcement to detention centers on remote islands, struggles over human smuggling, detention, asylum, and associated policies play out along the geographical margins of the nation-state. In this paper, I argue that islands are part of a broader enforcement archipelago of detention, a tactic of migration control. Island enforcement practices deter, detain, and deflect migrants from the shores of sovereign territory. Islands thus function as key sites of territorial struggle where nation-states use distance, invisibility, and sub-national jurisdictional status (Baldacchino & Milne, 2006) to operationalize Ong's (2006) 'graduated zones of sovereignty'. In sites that introduce ambiguity into migrants' legal status, state and non-state actors negotiate and illuminate geopolitical arrangements that structure mobility. This research traces patterns among distant and distinct locations through examination of sovereign and biopolitical powers that haunt asylum-seekers.detained on islands. Offshore detention, in turn, fuels spatial strategies employed in onshore detention practices internal to sovereign territory. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
