Border Profiteers – On the Recycling of Bare Life

Border Profiteers – On the Recycling of Bare Life exposes how migration management has become a global industry that feeds on crisis. Wars, climate collapse, and inequality displace millions, while private contractors, tech firms, and arms manufacturers turn suffering into profit. This session traces how state power and capital merge into a transnational regime of exclusion that transforms displacement into a renewable resource – and explores how resistance can be organised against it.
