Why Central Americans Emigrate? Patterns and Gaps Within Academic Research
Despite extensive debate and speculation surrounding the recent rise in emigration from Central American countries, the underlying drivers of this migration remain largely unexplored in the academic literature. This research note seeks to spark academic discussion by analysing the patterns and gaps in the existing literature on the drivers of migration from the region, with the goal of re‐centering the debate on evidence‐based scientific research…
Trust Me, Stay
Do negative perceptions of droughts increase individual's preparedness to migrate across national borders and if so, does institutional trust mediate such relationship? Only a small number of studies suggest that drought perceptions increase international migration. Yet, these insights remain to be empirically tested in Africa using a large‐ N study. We examine this claim and explore if trust in institutions can mediate this relationship. To expl…
Conservancies, rainfall anomalies and communal violence
Are conservancies hotspots for communal violence and if so, do rainfall anomalies increase the likelihood of violence? The consensus from a rich number of case studies suggests that conservancies (e.g. national parks, game reserves) increase tensions between communities, which often lead to violent conflicts. Yet, these insights remain to be empirically tested using a large-N study. We examine this claim and explore if rainfall anomalies have an …
Organ Trafficking and Migration
The debate over trafficking of human beings for the purpose of organ removal (THBOR) remains largely absent from policy debates, as its crime is hardly detected, reported and sparsely researched. However, criminal networks continue to exploit vulnerable populations, particularly migrants. To help bridge this gap in knowledge, we employ a bibliometric analysis to examine whether the nexus between organ removal and migration is being addressed by t…
The Border Poll Crew
Understanding the cultural and linguistic dynamics between voters and poll workers is helpful in training and incorporating bilingual poll workers in the electoral process. The November 2006 mid-term elections required an estimated 1.5 million poll workers nationwide. National Public Radio's Pam Fessler (October 2006) reported on how the increase use of voting technology has contributed to the complexity and challenges of hiring well-trained elec…
