Coming to Terms with the European Refugee Crisis by Hanspeter Kriesi, Argyrios Altiparmakis, Ábel Bojár, and Ioana-Elena Oană
Capacity Building as Intervention-Lite
Many states lack the standing capacity – housing, food, medical, or legal assistance – if thousands of people cross their border in one day. In addition, developing countries often lack the administrative capacity, expertise, and legal frameworks to process immigration or asylum applications and issue visas or refugee statuses. In response, the United Nations and other international organisations (IOs) propose to build the capacity of states thro…
The Geopolitics in the Global Compacts
The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) and the Global Compact on Refugees (GCM) were adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2018. After nearly five years, it is time for a critical reflection on the geopolitical interests that motivated the negotiations, agreements, and implementation. The purpose of this special issue was to critically examine how states used the Global Compacts to achieve their strategic interests using…
The European Union's migration management aid
The European Union and its member states have invested billions of euros in migration management programs that purport to promote “good migration governance” around the world. But what is the impact of migration management aid on governance outside of the EU? In this article, we theorise the impact of migration management aid on governance in recipient countries by analysing the key policy areas of intervention. To do so, we focus on the effects …
Celebrity Refugees and Foreign Policy
Celebrity refugees are a foreign policy tool whereby states grant international protection to famous artists, scientists, or politicians in exchange for some sort of strategic value in international relations. Celebrity refugees bring different types of strategic value—intellectual or ideological capital—and serve the role in propaganda to affirm domestic legitimacy, gain strategic advantage, and embarrass enemy regimes. This article develops an …
Threats, deportability and aid
In 2012, 2016 and 2018–2019, Pakistan threatened to expel Afghan refugees and in 2015, 2016 and 2019, Kenya threatened to demolish the Dadaab camp and expel Somali refugees. Following the threats, the governments extracted more than $300 million aid, combined. Why did these states succeed in extracting aid despite their relatively weak status and not bordering the target of their blackmail? This article first situates refugee expulsion within the…
Digitization Without Digital Evidence
States and asylum seekers are at the centre of rapid digital innovation in surveillance, mobility, welfare and identity. Why do some states rush to digitalize asylum systems, while others do not? Why is the pace and form of digitalization within countries uneven within asylum agencies? In this article, we examine drivers of the digitalization of the Swedish state, in particular uneven digitalization within the Swedish Migration Agency (Migrations…
Refugee commodification
Do states in the Global South learn from each other regarding the management of forced migration? Although research has shown that refugees have recently been recast as an economic benefit for non-Western host states, little scholarly work exists on whether and how such a normative change is adopted across regions. In this article, we identify the diffusion of refugee rent-seeking behaviour, namely the use of host states’ geopolitical position as…
Everyday Coordination in EU Migration Management
In the summer of 2015, large numbers of refugees and migrants arrived on the shores of the Aegean islands but the Greek government and international organizations were slow to respond. How did civil society actors coordinate their responses when national, regional, and global governance failed? This article begins by describing how civil society actors improvised their response through everyday coordination mechanisms defined as the informal proc…

Refugee Policy as Foreign Policy
Refugee policy is traditionally understood through the lenses of humanitarianism, international law, national security, and – less often – foreign policy. These first three lenses are insufficient to explain recent US refugee resettlement policy, particularly Iraqi and Afghan refugees. Between 2001 and 2016, the US resettled 143,650 Iraqis but only resettled 29,688 Afghans. Considering that the US military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan ha…
Are You A Terrorist? Comparing Security Screening for Iraqi Asylum Seekers in the United States and Sweden
How can countries balance demands for national security while remaining committed to humanitarian protection? In 2016, the United States and European Union agreed to resettle significant numbers of refugees. Some politicians, including President Trump, argued that refugees are a security threat, even though there are few refugees connected to terrorism. This article investigates how the United States and Sweden screened for terrorism with Iraqi a…
The Changing Role of the Ford Foundation in International Development, 1951–2001
While US private philanthropic foundations are small in comparison with other international donors, the Ford Foundation was an important international actor and the biggest player within international philanthropy for almost 50 years. US-funded think tanks and research centers articulated various iterations of a development paradigm, but these paradigms shifted over the same 50 years. What are the driving forces behind these shifts? Why, for inst…
NGO Frequent Flyers
Twenty years after the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), reconciliation on the national and local level is still largely absent. Billions of dollars were invested in reconstruction and reco
