Inclusión y exclusión en el trabajo en red de la Comisión de la Verdad de Colombia con el exilio
Objective/Context: The Truth Commission of Colombia, established under the 2016 Peace Agreement, innovated in its work with people who had to leave the country due to the armed conflict. By implementing this extraterritorial approach, the commission used a network of hundreds of volunteers in 24 countries who helped disseminate its mandate, interview more than 2,000 exiles, and promote recognition of the Colombian exile community. In this article…

Demanding Invisibility: Examining U.S. Attitudes Toward Immigrant Political Engagement
This article examines host society expectations that link social acceptance and political tolerance of migrants. We draw on the “invisibility bargain” framework, which demands that immigrants make valued contributions, perform social conformity, and express political passivity in return for acceptance of their presence in the country and avoidance of backlash. We test this theory, originally developed in Latin America, with original U.S. survey d…
Migration and Invisibility in the Americas: The Importance of Non-State Actors Brokering Protection for People on the Move
The 2021 MACLAS Arthur P Whitaker Award-winning book, The Invisibility Bargain: Governance Networks and Migrant Human Security, is presented by the author at the 2022 conference of the Middle Atlantic Council of Latin American Studies (MACLAS) in New Jersey. Migrants fleeing economic hardship or violence are entitled to a range of protections and rights under domestic and international law, yet they are often denied such protections in practice. …

The Invisibility Bargain: Governance Networks and Migrant Human Security
In an era of mass migration and restrictive responses, this book seeks to understand how migrants negotiate their place in the receiving society and adapt innovative strategies to integrate, participate, and access protection. Their acceptance is often contingent on the expectation that they contribute economically to the host country while remaining politically and socially invisible. These unwritten expectations, which this book calls the “invi…
A Catalyst for Action: Training and Education as Networking Platforms for Peace Projects
Weaving Transnational Activist Networks: Balancing International and Bottom-up Capacity-building Strategies for Nonviolent Action in Latin America
Latin America has been a laboratory for innovative strategic nonviolent action to confront oppression, corruption, human rights violations, and authoritarianism. One of the most salient explanations for why some movements achieve greater scale and effectiveness in meeting their objectives is the skills of movement organizers in unifying the population, planning strategic moves, and maintaining nonviolent discipline. The training and education to …

Negotiating Identity and Belonging through the Invisibility Bargain: Colombian Forced Migrants in Ecuador
Negotiating Identity and Belonging through the Invisibility Bargain: Colombian Forced Migrants in Ecuador
This article argues that an “invisibility bargain” constrains migrants’ identities and political participation, demanding their economic contributions plus political and social invisibility in exchange for tolerance of their presence in the host country. In response, migrants negotiate their visible identity differences, minimize social distance from the host population, and build informal coalitions with non-state brokers to avoid citizen backla…
Universal Citizenship Through the Discourse and Policy of Rafael Correa
This article investigates political opportunities and constraints associated with incorporating the concept of universal citizenship into migration debates. Analyzing the speeches of Ecuador's president Rafael Correa over eight years, the article argues that Correa strategically crafted a narrative of universal citizenship to undergird politically beneficial policies. Political constraints from constituents and rivals, and the populist nature of …
Peacebuilding Among Transnational Youth in Migrant-Receiving Border Regions of Ecuador
This article explores the factors that contribute to the effectiveness of peacebuilding initiatives in border regions where refugees and citizens coexist and sometimes come into conflict. It does so by comparing two programmes seeking to build conflict resolution capacity among youth in Ecuador near the Colombian border. The initiatives were funded by the same donor and took place in the same region. Their programme design differed, however, and …
The Short-Term “Bridge Model” Study Abroad Program: Peacebuilding in Latin America
The conventional wisdom about political science international education assumes that students choose between short “island” study abroad programs that are accessible but have only superficial impact, and longer immersion programs, achieving a greater effect. This article argues that well-designed study abroad programs can combine the best of both models to achieve significant impact even in a short program. It proposes a “bridge model” for reconc…
Whose Brother's Keeper? International Trusteeship and the Search for Peace in the Palestinian Territories
International trusteeship of post-conflict territories by multilateral institutions or foreign states received renewed attention in the wake of its application in Kosovo and East Timor during the 1990s. Subsequently, interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq have contributed to the intensity of critical discussion over post-Westphalian sovereignty approaches and competing norms regarding human rights, nationalism, and security. This article seeks to …
Selling the Public on Sustainable Watershed Conservation
The city of Quito, Ecuador, began working in 2000 to protect the ecologically fragile watershed area for its drinking water. In order to protect the Papallacta watershed, the independent Fund for the Conservation of Watersheds (FONAG) was launched to finance and manage economically sound sustainability projects in the area. FONAG is funded in part through start up grants from several organisations and a 1 per cent fee on all Quito water bills, bu…
