Maritime migrant interdiction emerged in the 1980s. With it came a new era of border externalization--the offshoring of migration policing as a mode of jurisdictional arbitrage. This talk examines the effects of maritime migration policing on the form of the nation-state. If the ideal shape of the Westphalian sovereign polity is that of a container-like, territorial entity, what happens when the external borders of such an entity are no longer where one traditionally imagines them to be? Where exactly are the immigration borders of the nation-states of the global North today? Does the repositioning of these borders merely repeat older models of sovereign policing or does it mark a new aesthetic ideal of nation-state form?
