Resumo

The book Studies in European Integration, State and Society - The Use of Technology for the Management of the EU/US Immigration and Asylum Policy: Possible Risks for Fundamental Rights Protection (2020), by Marta Kołodziejczyk, offers a critical examination of the growing reliance on biometric databases and automated decision-making in European Union and United States migration policies. The author explores the trade-off between security and human rights, exposing how digitalization reinforces structural discrimination, particularly against refugees from the Global South. This review highlights the book’s contribution to debates on surveillance, necropolitics, and algorithmic governance, while noting gaps in practical solutions, concrete examples, and inclusive policies. It advocates for accountability mechanisms, ethical design, and stronger international regulations to align technological innovation with human rights protection.
