Run and organised like a supply chain, this system dehumanises those who are detained and deported, treating them as if they were packages to be moved from place to place and relying on poorly paid, minimally trained staff to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eSupply Chain Justice\u003c\/em\u003e, Mary Bosworth offers the first empirically grounded, scholarly analysis of the British detention and deportation system. Drawing on four years of extensive ethnographic research, Bosworth examines what keeps the system in place and whether it might be effectively challenged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTold by a senior manager that \"this is a logistics business,\" Bosworth documents how the public and private sectors have built a supply chain in which people's humanity is transformed both symbolically and tangibly through administrative processes and bureaucracy into monetised, measurable units. Like all logistics, the system has failure built into it. The contract does not seek to eradicate risk but rather to manage it, determining responsibility and apportioning a financial value to such \"failures\" as delay, escape, aborted flight or death in custody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFront-line workers and managers depoliticise and normalise their efforts by casting their duties in familiar bureaucratic terms, with targets, \"service level agreements\" and \"key performance indicators.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFocusing on first-hand accounts from workers and lengthy observation and document analysis, Bosworth explores the impact of border logistics in order to ask what it would take to build inclusive infrastructures rather than those designed to exclude.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47432744141036,"sku":"9780691259864","price":74.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780691259864.jpg?v=1774556712"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/mary-bosworth.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
