For over three decades, mass evictions and expulsions of Eastern Europeans in France have exposed the racialised logics underpinning state policy, revealing the nexus of racial capitalism with punitive governance. Analysing the Franco-Romanian bilateral police collaboration, this contribution shows how policing operates as an instrument of neoliberal statecraft, reinforcing racial and socio-economic hierarchies that disproportionately target Romani people. In Europe, the (subtle) racialisation and structural oppression of Roma shape policy design and implementation (Vrăbiescu, 2014; Kóczé, 2021), including the racial profiling in bureaucratic practices (Plájás et al. 2019). Yet, the policing of Roma across the EU member states remains insufficiently explored. This chapter reflects on the policing of Roma in Europe as a constitutive dimension of racial capitalism. First, the conceptualisation of fear as a regulatory principle in transnational policing serves a dual purpose: as an ethical emotion that legitimises state-sanctioned violence and functions as a disciplinary mechanism sustaining institutional racism. Second, nation-state and their institutional formations reflect colonial continuities, linking France’s colonial past and Romania’s history of Roma enslavement to contemporary security practices. Revisiting Romaphobia (anti-Roma racism) as a historically embedded and institutionally sustained form of racism, the chapter argues that anti-Roma policing reveals deeper structures within European identity itself. Third, grounded in ethnographic data, the analysis of Franco-Romanian police collaboration exposes the routinised reproduction of ethnic profiling as a professionalised policing practice that sustains structural racism. Such practices not only dehumanise racialised populations but also actively reproduce the socio-economic stratifications intrinsic to racial capitalism.
