Session Submission Type: Full Paper Panel
In what ways do international, state, and non-state institutions manage migrants and refugees in an era of historic levels of human mobility? How and by whom are management systems implemented, and what are the consequences for states, regions, cities, and migrants themselves? How do state and non-state actors interact in the drive toward increased management? And how do migrants and refugees adapt to, and generate changes in, these systems? The papers on this panel seek to answer these questions and others. Collectively, they demonstrate that global approaches to managing migrants and refugees are iterative: they take shape in response to increasing flows of migrants, adapt to new technologies, follow humanitarian trends and donor preferences, and designate power to select actors. In turn, migrants and refugees adjust their behavior, confront novel structural barriers, and, at times, enjoy limited opportunities to advance their objectives. The authors on this panel use diverse methods for generating and analyzing data to advance their arguments, ranging from interviews and survey experiments to case studies and cross-national analyses. Geographically, the cases in these papers cover areas at the heart of contemporary migration crises: Europe, the United States, and the Middle East. Institutions at regional, international, and subnational levels are considered, deepening our collective understandings of—and implicating policy towards—humanitarianism, state-building, migration and displacement, and development.
