"Digital patrolling". A comparative study of emerging borders control practices in Europe - ISA2023 presentation
Résumé
Border control is becoming increasingly digitalised almost everywhere in the world. The European Union is no exception: in recent years, there has been an increasing reliance on drones for external border surveillance, remote detection and tracking systems, as well as on the introduction of preventive risk analytics. This trend has profound implications on the modalities and consequences of border patrols. This paper aims to contribute to the analysis of the digitalisation of European borders by defining and classifying the modes of what I suggest calling "digital patrolling", carried out at various stages of the borderwork. To do so, building on an extensive literature review, the paper proposes a comparative analysis of the digitalisation of patrolling practices at the EU level, in Greece, and Spain. The analysis is articulated along the examination of the different capability areas underpinning digital patrolling systems, with a focus on situational awareness, detection and tracking, information management and risk analysis.
