(Borderscapes of differential inclusion : subjectivity and struggles on the threshold of justice’s excess)

The article proposes a critical analysis of the relation of justice and borders, starting from the assumption that borders no longer exist at the edge of the territory, marking the point where it ends, but have been transported into the middle of political space. Bringing together Marx’s and Foucault’s criticisms of the liberal theory of justice and their perspectives on the production of subjectivity, the article explores some of the multifarious transformations of the border and migration 'regime' that can be observed in several parts of the globe and contend that an analysis of the relationship of justice and borders, which has hitherto focused on the binary inclusion/exclusion, now needs to be enlarged to grasp the emerging mechanisms of 'differential inclusion', as well as the political significance of 'border struggles' in our global world in the context of the urge for justice now being evidenced in all situations and sites of existence on the borders
