Abstract
How does a research agenda addressed to the world making capacities of borders swing towards concern with the forms of power manifest in logistical practices? I want to answer this question today, and I will begin with the discussion of the book just mentioned by Philip [Nel], Border as Method, or the Multiplication of Labor, which I published with my Italian colleague Sandro Mezzadra in 2013, in order to reflect on the importance of borders for our political lives. I will then turn to the question of logistics, which is a more recent research topic that has preoccupied us and say something about the global governance of the movement of people and things in the contemporary age.
