Based on a long-term research among Bangladeshis in Lisbon, this article ethnographically explores the perspectives and experiences of my interlocutors about waiting for documents and regularisation in Portugal and how this waiting is frequently perceived as a radical uncertainty about one's own future. As my interlocutors emphasise it creates a feeling of being stuck, of going nowhere, of being tested. These experiences of waiting, and its corresponding dilemmas and anxieties, have to be interpreted in relation to the governmentalities of migrations and its relations with the spatialisation effect of states, namely, the displacement of border making processes through which states continuously produce sovereignty. Such bordering dynamics, this article argues, produce a certain kind of experience that can be interpreted through the concept of border biographies.

Pembangunan jalan raya Merr II-C merupakan salah satu rangkain proyek Pemkot Surabaya menghubungkan Gunung Anyar sampai Tol Juanda. Dampak dari pembangunan jalan yaitu terbelahnya kampung padat penduduk Gunung Anyar. Karakter perkampungan yang ditembus oleh pembangunan jalan tersebut yaitu kampung formal dan informal. Karakter kampung informal yang sporadic terlihat jelas dari puing-puing bangunan yang tersisa, sedangkan perkampungan formal juga terlihat dari karakternya yang tersusun rapi. Pada saat ini karakter bangunan berusaha untuk mencari jati diri karena karakter kampung informal masih dapat dideteksi tetapi pengaruh fungsi perdagangan dan jasa di Merr II-A dan Merr II-B sudah mulai terlihat. Sehingga penelitian ini dianggap penting untuk memetekan karakter bangunan yang muncul dampak pembangunan jalan Merr II- C. Dalam memetakan karakter bangunan menggunakan pendekatan place making, sehingga dapat diketahui karakter pembentuk bangunan.
Merr II-C高速公路的建设是连接安第斯山脉到Juanda收费的泗水峰会项目之一。新公路建设的影响是新耶尔山脉人口稠密的村庄的分裂。道路建设渗透到农村社区的特征是正规和非正式的社区。从建筑物的废墟中可以清楚地看到正规社区的特色,而正规社区的特色也可以清楚地看到。此时,由于非正规住房特性仍然可以被发现,建筑特征正试图确定身份,但Merr i - a和Merr i - b的商业和服务功能已经开始显现。因此,这项研究被认为是必要的,以适应默尔II- C街(Merr II- C. street development)中塑造建筑人物形象的影响。

The thousands of migrants crossing the Canadian land border irregularly are challenging the nature of law and the role the law plays at and around, the border. Likewise, the thousands of refugees who enter Canada each year through resettlement are framed within the validity of their legal arrival across the border. The article addresses the perceived notion that there is a singularity of the law along the border that informs which migrant is 'legal' or 'illegal'. We examine the refugee system in Canada to illustrate the various layers that influence the normative discourse on refugee protection. We reveal a tension in rendering persons rhetorically legal or illegal not by whether a person is in need of protection but by the means through which persons seek that protection. This article seeks to understand how this tension is tied to and, buoyed by, moral licensing whereby application of the 'illegal' refugee concept, combined with the self-congratulation surrounding Canada's resettlement activities, act together to empower a moral comfort with slackened support for refugees seeking asylum.

Southeast Asians on the move are caught 'between a fluid region and a hard state', as Malaysian historian Farish Noor puts it. Drawing on mobilities theory, this article seeks to locate the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) within this ideational map of flows and gates, arguing that it can best be characterised as a 'semi-soft' entity, mediating between the need for mobility and the fear of mobility. ASEAN intersects with people-movement in the areas of skilled and unskilled labour; connectivity and development; and security and protection. On aggregate, its goals reflect an ambivalence that leaves it open to charges of ineffectiveness, even duplicity. Yet this incoherence might be both an inevitable and also sometimes positive element of ASEAN's shock-absorber role, as it both buffers and is imprinted by the dual pressures of fluidity and fixity.

ASEAN's regional norms of sovereign equality, non-interference, consultation and consensus or the 'ASEAN way' are often used as a scapegoat for explaining the failure of ASEAN and, therefore, the lack of change in Southeast Asia. This perspective, however, does not suggest much about deeper state preferences that drive decision-making, even less so the processes in which ASEAN members arrive at their decisions. In contrast, this article contributes to the 'practice turn' in International Relations and argues that the success and failure of ASEAN regionalism very much depends on state's background knowledge - the habitus that predisposes state actions. By examining the deadlock in the almost decade-long negotiations of the ASEAN instrument on the protection of migrant worker rights, this article sheds light on how Malaysia's past experiences with labour migration shape its current practice that is estranged from regional demands, hence creating its reluctance to compromise on the migrant worker rights agenda in ASEAN.
