A Spatial Theory of the Camp: Geopolitics, Biopolitics and the Immunitarian State (Counter-geographies of the Refugee Balkan Route series)

By Claudio Minca and Richard Carter-White

From concentration camps to refugee settlements, there is little consensus about what exactly defines 'the camp'. This timely and comprehensive book adopts a geographical perspective to develop a spatial theory of the camp, advancing the interdisciplinary field of camp studies. Richard Carter-White and Claudio Minca explore the spatial logics and practices that unite different camps, demonstrating why the camp has become such an integral tool of contemporary governance and what this reveals about the geopolitics and biopolitics of the modern nation-state.
