This talk focuses on how states’ governance of mobility shapes state power. Dr. Nandita Sharma traces how mobility regimes shifted from imperial to national sovereignty in the 19th century, and how the hegemony of national sovereignty after World War Two made nationalism the governmentality of what she calls the “postcolonial new world order.” She examines how today’s intensification of nationalisms and migration controls is justified through autochthonous discourses. Dr. Sharma also highlights the politics of No Borders movements, which call for the free mobility of all people, representing an important rupture to postcolonial rule.
