Description
The emergence of international human rights law and the end of the White Australia immigration policy were events of great historical moment.
Yet, they were not harbingers of a new dawn in migration law.
This book argues that this is because migration law in Australia is best understood as part of a longer jurisprudential tradition in which certain political-economic interests have shaped the relationship between the foreigner and the sovereign. Eve Lester explores how this relationship has been wrought by a political-economic desire to regulate race and labour; a desire that has produced the claim that there exists an absolute sovereign right to exclude or condition the entry and stay of foreigners.
Lester calls this putative right a discourse of 'absolute sovereignty'.
She argues that 'absolute sovereignty' talk continues to be a driver of migration lawmaking, shaping the foreigner-sovereign relation and making thinkable some of the world's harshest asylum policies.
