Excepción en la frontera. Laberintos legitimadores de la violencia soberana en los límites del Estado

Abstract

Today, at the borders of many countries walls and fences are being built in a costly effort to maintain migrations under control. This endeavor not only proves itself useless, but also produces great real damage, economic and vital, to the persons trying to cross these borders. As a response to the decline of the national sovereign power, produced by the global processes and structures, the States are being fortified as a way of claiming the traditional form of territorially power, and mainly aimed to stop the global migrants. But the violence that this phenomenon creates leads to certain paradoxes, both about the development of international politics and about the political representation of the national sovereignties. Here are analyzed some of the symptoms of these tensions, and also what is believed as their cause from the viewpoint of the sovereign logic.
