Regional to national: Pragmatic implementation of South American migration policies
Forced migration continues across the globe, extending in numbers and duration to form protracted displacement crises. To varying success rates, receiving states apply measures to select, control, and document newcomers. One of the largest displacements in history started in 2015 from Venezuela. Unlike other top receiving countries, Brazil granted a blanket refugee status and achieved the highest regularization rates in South America over the 201…
From global to local: How local actors and networks shape global refugee protection norms in Brazil, Bangladesh, and Turkey
How and why are global norms ‘localised’? Existing studies suggest that the ‘localisation’ process can lead to different outcomes (adoption, rejection, adaptation, resistance) and that such process is driven by structural and institutional factors or the activities of ‘globalizing actors’. Complementing these works, we generate a new explanation, according to which the outcomes of the localisation process can be also powerfully mediated by the op…
The Ambivalent Relationship between South America and the Liberal International Order: Regional Counter-institutionalization in the Fields of Migration and Election Monitoring
Under what conditions do South American states create regional institutions that consolidate or undermine the liberal international order (LIO)? To address this question, we compare two cases of contestation of the LIO through counter-institutionalization in the domains of migration and election monitoring, both of which are closely related to the LIO's core political principles. We argue that the variation in the effects of counter-institutional…
Actors, Ideas, and International Influence: Understanding Migration Policy Change in South America
This article analyzes the role of ideas, domestic actors, and international influences in migration policy change (MPCh) in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. Building on 67 in-depth interviews with key actors in migration governance, public declarations of government representatives, and relevant legislation, we argue that the increased power of “securitist” actors within national bureaucracies shaped MPCh in all three countries. Between 2015 and 201…
Refugee recognition in Brazil under Bolsonaro: The domestic impact of international norms and standards
Why did the far-right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, with financial support from Donald Trump’s US government, preside over the group recognition of around 47,000 displaced Venezuelans as refugees? It would appear implausible that a far-right, nationalistic government led by a president who had expressed visceral hostility to migrants and refugees would use the provisions of a progressive regional framework to grant refugee status to thousan…

Making Sense of the Global: A Systematic Review of Globalizing and Localizing Dynamics in Refugee Governance
What does the research literature on refugee and asylum migration tell us about the impact of global norms and standards on the protection of asylum-seekers and refugees? Do we see the effective reach of global standards or do we see responses to be dependent on ‘local’ contexts? We conducted a systematic review of the literature across six case countries on two key issues in contemporary refugee governance: ‘mobility’ and ‘containment’. After co…
Political and Legal Responses to Human Mobility in South America in the Context of the Covid-19 Crisis. More Fuel for the Fire
During the XXI century, South America has been the epicenter of vibrant discussions on human mobility. A new vocabulary emerged with legal principles such as the non-criminalization of irregular migration or the right to migrate as a fundamental right taking central stage. The combination of the arrival of COVID-19 together with the important emigration of Venezuelans in the region, as well as economic and political crisis are putting into questi…
The Dynamics of Regional Migration Governance
‘This collection includes contributions from some of the most important scholars working in the area of migration studies. The focus is especially timely, given the crises within the European and American systems but equally this book does not shy away from exposing the varying degrees of power and influence within regions and where institutions still fall far short of their mission to govern migration flows. This ambitious collection offers an o…
The Argentine Military and the Antisubversivo Genocide: The School of Americas' Contribution to the French Counterinsurgency Model
This article analyzes the role of the United States during Argentina's 1976–1983 military dictatorship and their genocidal counterinsurgency war. We argue that Washington's policy evolved from the initially loose support of the Ford administration to what we call “the Carter exception” in 1977–79, when the violations of human rights were denounced and concrete measures taken to put pressure on the military to end their repressive campaign. Howeve…
