Description: Since the peak of Europe's so - called 2015 'migration crisis' the dominant governmental response has been to turn to deterrent border security across the Mediterranean and construct border walls throughout the EU. During the same timeframe EU citizens are widely represented - by politicians by media sources and by opinion polls - as fearing a loss of control over national and EU borders. Despite the intensification of EU border security with visibly violent effects EU citizens are portrayed as 'threatened majorities'. These dynamics beg the question: Why is it that tougher deterrent border security and walling appear to have heightened rather than diminished border anxieties among EU citizens? While the populist mantra of 'taking back control purports to speak on behalf of EU citizens little is known about how diverse EU citizens conceptualize understand and talk about the so - called 'crisis'. Yet if social and cultural meanings of 'migration and 'border security are constructed intersubjectively and contested politically (Weldes et al. 1999) then EU citizens - - as well as governmental elites and people on the move - - are significant in shaping dominant framings of and responses to the 'crisis'. This book argues that in order to address the overarching puzzle a conceptual and methodological shift is required in the way that border security is understood: a new approach is urgently required that complements 'top - down analyses of elite governmental practices with 'bottom - up vernacular studies of how those practices are both reproduced and contested in everyday life.
