Abstract
State sovereignty, in terms of the organisation and expression of political authority by nation states, is traditionally interpreted as a political container that is being weakened by increasing human and non-human mobilities. However recent research indicates that states are themselves becoming more mobile as executive bodies move and sovereign spaces are tactically reduced and expanded to intercept and control global mobilities. While challenging dichotomous notions of mobility and sovereignty, such research frames the movements of governments, territory and sovereign agents as the tactics of already established states. This paper builds on extant research by drawing on both a mobile ontology and Giorgio Agamben's theory of sovereignty to examine how mobilities constitute modern state sovereignty. To do so I examine Australian sovereignty and the related material and symbolic exclusion of asylum seekers arriving by boat. My analysis finds that mobilities, in terms of material movements and their representation, are essential to the construction of Australian sovereignty and the position of maritime asylum seekers as its outsider and limit identity. Through their mobile interception and management, and their representation as mobile ‘others’, maritime asylum seekers are used to create sovereign borders between specific types of movement; between ‘correct’ and ‘incorrect’ (im)mobilities.I argue that this form of state sovereignty is disarticulated from space and follows populations who construct territories as being ‘inside’ or ‘outside’ of the Australian state as they move

Vietnam Protests Against China’s “Mobile Sovereign Territory” aka Deepwater Drilling Rig
May
May 5, 2014 (Bloomberg) — Vietnam denounced China for setting up an exploration rig in waters off its central coast disputed by the two nations, raising the prospect of an escalation of tensions between the neighboring countries.
Vietnam is “strongly opposed” to any actions within waters it has sovereignty over, Foreign Ministry spokesman Le Hai Binh said in a statement. State-owned Vietnam Oil & Gas, known as PetroVietnam, said it sent a letter to China NationalOffshore Oil Corp. asking the company to stop activities and remove the rig.
China National Offshore on May 2 placed the rig about 120 nautical miles off the Vietnamese coast, PetroVietnam said in a statement on its website. Calls to a Beijing-based spokesman for the Chinese company weren’t answered. A Chinese government maritime agency said the rig will be in place until Aug. 15, Vietnam’s Foreign Ministry said on its website.
