| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Challenging the representations of the securitization of migration and disease as a productive broadening of security studies or as a troubling shift associated with recent developments in international politics, this article explores how the regulation of human movement and contagious disease functions to reproduce the international/domestic foundation of the nation-state system and to support the moral basis of exclusion from individual states. Drawing on the practices of border and health regulation in Canada, and specifically through the technology of insurance, the article explores how health and immigration bureaucracies and private insurance corporations reproduce the international realm as anarchic, disordered, and dangerous through the representation of certain regions and peoples as unhealthy, irrational, and dangerous. |
