Schengen Surveillance Schengen Surveillance By removing checks on borders between European countries while hardening those on the edges of Europe, the EU has redrawn borders along civilizational lines.
Stanley-Becker shows how the Schengen Information System, based in Strasbourg, was created to compensate for the absence of border checks.
But the surveillance system created by Schengen inevitably expanded beyond the identification of asylum seekers who had moved from one Schengen country to another; in particular, it was increasingly merged with EU counterterrorism operations.
Schengen allowed member states to reinstate border checks for up to two years in an emergency, as Germany did in September 2015.
Preventing such journeys is likely to require the further expansion of the system of surveillance produced by Schengen.
