Sammendrag
In this introduction, we lay out the premises, logics and
content of the book in more detail. In the next section, we introduce a varied
set of current international challenges concerning the relationship between
states and citizens. In the third section, we present the historical background
for why states are interested in citizens beyond the border, and the different
forms this interest has taken over the centuries. This feeds into the discussion
about the contemporary understanding and practice of the Duty of Care in
the fourth and fifth sections. Here we discuss how the concept allows for new
insights into current topics, as well as how it reconfigures and ties together
insights from existing literatures. In the sixth and final section, we specify how
one can go about studying the Duty of Care, with reference to the ensuing
chapters of the book. In this section, we emphasise the chains of care, the
power relations inherent in them and the dilemmas and paradoxes that arise
from asserting and claiming a Duty of Care.
