      abstract = {This book focuses on the Visa Information System (VIS): a  large-scale data infrastructure interconnecting a  multiplicity of state authorities that enact border  security and migration management in the European Union.  The VIS is embedded within a setting of pan-European IT  systems that filter international mobility, identify  threatening elements, hamper the travels of poor,  racialized, and alienated subjects, while at the same time  facilitate the circulation of those expected to generate  financial and other kinds of capital. The book examines the  engineering of the VIS by analyzing how it was designed  before its deployment in the field of border security, and  how it is maintained to ensure continuous and secure  operation. It illustrates how engineering processes that  render the VIS functional are not just technoscientific,  but inherently political, as they (re)configure and  maintain the power to govern international mobility by  digital means. Georgios Glouftsios is Postdoctoral  Researcher and Contract Professor at the University of  Trento, School of International Studies.},
