The digitalisation of border security is reshaping migration governance across Europe and beyond, transforming border areas through the deployment of advanced surveillance technologies. Greece and Spain, as critical gateways, have become testing grounds for drones and remote monitoring systems designed to enforce borders from afar. In a walk down extreme border zones, this book delves into the rise of digital patrolling, a key facet of this transformation, offering a multidisciplinary analysis grounded in human rights law, comparative migration law, and critical migration studies. By exploring how digital patrolling impacts the ‘filtering’ of human mobility, it uncovers the legal and societal fallouts of Europe’s shifting borders, highlighting the tension between security measures and fundamental rights.
