Modes of Bio-Bordering: The Hidden (Dis)integration of Europe

The Hidden (Dis)integration of Europe by Nina Amelung Rafaela Granja and Helena Machado. “…the ‘hidden integration’ and ‘hidden fragmentation’ of Europe, the transnational exchange of forensic DNA data organized through the Prüm system serves as an exemplary case through which to explore the different logics of biobordering dynamics at work across the European Union. We complement an EU-level analysis with country case analysis of modes of biobordering that emphasize the legal, scientific, technical, political and ethical dimensions related to the governance and uses of biometric technologies both at a national level and in a transnational collaboration.” Palgrave (2021) 155p.
