| Summary: | The city of Calais, one of the main transit areas to England, has for more than twenty years been the scene of reinforced security measures in its port and at the entrance site of the Channel Tunnel to filter and block the crossings of migrants. In addition to these immobilization policies, the strategies of the French public authorities also involve the forced mobility of migrants. By focusing on police practices of forced displacement, this paper aims to contribute to the analysis of spatial policing mechanisms in border contexts. It is based on a field survey conducted in Calais between 2010 and 2015 among actors involved in migration control. |
