European Journal of International Security Vol 8 Issue 2, May 2023, pp.172-191 (27A)Summary: The security-migration nexus is ubiquitous throughout Europe and beyond. An avalanche of scholarship has explored the construction of migration as a security threat in general and, in the UK, the creation of the 'hostile environment' in particular - the problematic nature of each being well documented. Yet, far less attention has been paid to activities that contest this process. Deploying Balzacq's four modalities of contestation - desecuritisation, resistance, emancipation, and resilience - this article addresses the imbalance, exploring how asylum and refugee sector NGOs engage in and contest security-migration politics.
