本文是对国际关系和相关学科的一些理论家的呼吁的回应，他们呼吁在当代政治生活中需要发展另一种思考“边界”的方式。这些呼吁是因为边界做法的性质和地点日益复杂，而处理边界的方式却往往相对简单，两者之间存在明显的紧张关系。然而，其中一个智力挑战是，我们可能求助于新的边界词汇的政治思想中的许多资源已经依赖于关于边界是什么和在哪里的未成问题的概念。有人认为，意大利哲学家乔治·阿甘本的工作中可以找到一些承诺，他的诊断的主权权力的运作方面的生产裸生活提供了显着的，但在很大程度上尚未开发的影响，分析边界和政治的空间在全球生物政治地形。
Abstract This article is a response to calls from a number of theorists in International Relations and related disciplines for the need to develop alternative ways of thinking ‘the border’ in contemporary political life. These calls stem from an apparent tension between the increasing complexity of the nature and location of bordering practices on the one hand and yet the relative simplicity with which borders often continue to be treated on the other. One of the intellectual challenges, however, is that many of the resources in political thought to which we might turn for new border vocabularies already rely on unproblematised conceptions of what and where borders are. It is argued that some promise can be found in the work of Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben, whose diagnosis of the operation of sovereign power in terms of the production of bare life offers significant, yet largely untapped, implications for analysing borders and the politics of space across a global bio-political terrain.
