Abstract

The right to enter, leave, and travel within one's country is as essential to full citizenship in a modern, democratic republic as rights to vote or work. Ironically, the computer revolution lauded for its globalizing effects enables government restrictions on movement -- through monitoring, watchlisting, and interdiction -- to unprecedented degrees. This interdisciplinary panel examines how technology alters this classic citizen-state relationship.
