This style of governance is characterised by widespread unaccountability and impunity, with human rights being systematically violated and justice rarely achieved. Focusing on the Italian-Slovenian border and the 'informal readmissions' that took place between 2020 and 2021, the article explores how state actors resort to informal methods to circumvent legal and procedural constraints on their sovereignty and evade their obligations towards asylum seekers and refugees. Concurrently, it shows how independent solidarity networks not only compensate for institutional negligence in providing reception services to asylum seekers but also assume a ‘pseudo-judicial’ role when the rights of these people are denied, monitoring and analysing systemic human rights violations and border violence for legal action against the perpetrators. In this way, the study sheds light on the relational dynamics between state and solidarity actors in border zones and how both strategically engage in and leverage in/formal practices to either deny or uphold the right of asylum. It demonstrates the pervasive role of informality in asylum governance and highlights how, within illiberal regimes, operating on the margins of official norms and institutions is as much a technique of power ‘from above’ as it is a strategy of resistance ‘from below’.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"126 ","pages":"Article 103499"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146078710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
