This issue aims to deepen knowledge on migration control, and on foreigners' confinement and encampment, focusing on border areas and on non-police participants (citizens, local authorities, “smugglers”, etc.) who contribute to shape the deployment and operation of border devices. At the crossroads of usually distinct fields of research – border studies and studies on local migration policies – it offers an interdisciplinary perspective on various case studies on a European scale: the island of Malta, Calais, Ventimiglia, and the Franco-Italian border of Hautes-Alpes. The texts thus open the black box of migration control and foreigners’ confinement and shed light on the plural, composite and conflictual dimension of the local making of the border.
