To avoid extinctions and other harms to ecological health from escalating climatic change, scientists, resource managers, and activists are considering and even engaging in "assisted migration" -- the intentional movement of an organism to an area in which its species has never existed. This article explores the profound implications of climate change for American natural resource management through the lens of this controversial adaptation strategy. It details arguments regarding the scientific viability and legality of assisted migration under the thicket of laws that govern natural resources in the US. The article explains why contemporary natural resource law's fidelity to historic baselines, protecting preexisting biota, and shielding nature from human activity is increasingly unte...

Walters takes a look at how in response to the new strategies of migration control that states in Europe are pursuing, political activists are improvising new forms of protest. Just as in the US, immigrants are demanding to be recognized as human beings endowed with inalienable rights that they do not give up, even as they cross borders arbitrarily established by nation-states. He also examines the political intervention associated with the noborder network, which acts in solidarity with migrants and refugees, and calls for the opening of all borders.

In this article we present ethnographic evidence from China and the UK to show that the state's migration discourse is not simply a dominant force imposed externally by the state on migrants, but is itself shaped by migrant strategies. These strategies lead to migratory, employment and survival practices that in turn produce the social phenomena (bogus asylum seeking, an informal labour market, illegal border crossing) that originally informed and justified the discourse itself. Furthermore, and as a final irony, some of the very discursive categories themselves are not simply externally imposed on migrants. In this article we will show how for instance 'legality', 'skills', or 'qualifications' are not intrinsic qualities that migrants do or do not possess, but bureaucratic statuses man...
