Tendayi Achiume\n\nAbstract\n\n(En anglais seulem ent) Most legal theory treats border governance as a function of nation-st ate sovereignty\, and as primarily the domain of the state. Prof. Achiume' s previous work has done the same\, and to the extent that she has theoriz ed borders and possibilities for their re-imagining\, she has centered sta tes as the duty-bearers and world-makers. In this project\, Prof. Achiume wants to explore non-state\, and specifically corporate control and consti tution of international migration and nation-state borders\, and to use th e concepts of “corporate borders” and “corporate sovereignty” to trouble t raditional ways of thinking about border and migration justice. Central to her exploration will be the ways in which transnational corporations (col onial and contemporary) have made and used borders and race together as te chnologies of economic profit. \n\nProf. Achiume aims to explore the ways in which “corporate borders” are racial borders\, in the sense that they r eify racial hierarchy and the sustain racialized exploitation. From the pe rspective of just international borders and migration\, what is the challe nge presented by the relationship between race and capitalism\, and specif ically by the ways international law serves as pivotal technology in susta ining injustice at this intersection? If international borders are signifi cantly corporate borders\, what are the implications for international law \, and for the state-centrism of international legal theory of borders? Wh at difference might it make to engage with corporations as de facto sovere ign or super-sovereigns as the baseline from which border justice is re-im agined? If the neocolonialism of borders\, and the racial injustices embed ded in these borders are significantly a corporate affair\, what sort of r eorientation is required in scholarship\, advocacy and policymaking on the future of borders and migration governance? \n\nBio\n\nProfessor Achiume is the inaugural Alicia Miñana Professor of Law\, and currently the Leah K aplan Visiting Professor in Human Rights at Stanford Law School (2022-23).
