Abstract
The European Union’s external border regime is a manifestation of continuing imperialism. It reinforces particular imaginaries of Europe’s wealth as somehow innate (rather than plundered and extorted1) and of
Europeanness itself as whiteness—euphemistically packaged as a “European Way of Life” to be protected.2
This exposes international law’s structural limitations—if not designs—as bound up with racial borders in the
global context. In the wake of COVID-19 and with a climate apocalypse already underway, these realities need
to be urgently ruptured and reimagined.
