Border security is addressed from the angle of the everyday practices of those who are appointed to carry it out; considering border security as practice is essential for shedding light on contemporary problematizations of security. Underscoring the methodological specificity of fieldwork research, we call for a better grounding of scholarship within the specific agencies intervening in bordering spaces in order to provide detailed analyses of the contextualized practices of security actors. %G English %L hal-02186433 %U https://sciencespo.hal.science/hal-02186433 %~ SHS %~ SCIENCESPO %~ CNRS %~ AO-SOCIOLOGIE %~ SOCIOLOGIE %~ AO-SCIENCEPOLITIQUE %~ CEE
