“…Most recently, Meyers (2004) offers a theoretical approach to making sense of immigration policy, internationally. There is also a small literature that addresses international human mobility in normative terms, in light of universalistic conceptions of justice.…”

Exit, vote and sovereignty: migration, states and globalization

In this article I introduce a framework for understanding the political effects of globalization on labor. While the globalization literature is rife with references to the effects of sovereignty from global trade and capital networks, there is surprisingly little written about the effects of increased labor mobility on national sovereignty. To fill this void, I adapt Albert Hirschman's (1970) model to examine how exit might affect national voice in the context of free international migration. This adapted framework generates concrete expectations about how increased mobility affects both internal and external conceptions of sovereignty. In particular, increased mobility is shown to improve the responsiveness of governments to citizen demands. Thus, in contrast to the general consensus that labor/voters benefit least from increased globalization, I suggest that the problem facing labor is not globalization, per se. In a world characterized by relatively free mobility for other factors of production (and their owners), labor/voters appear to be handicapped by being prisoners of territory.

“…When explaining refugee policies, the domestic factors identified as determinants for policy change include democratization, economic liberalization, bureaucratic politics, shifts in public opinion, national security considerations, refugee origins and numbers, and the absorption capacity of local communities (Cornelius et al 2004;Jacobsen 1996;Meyers 2004;Milner 2009;Preston 1992). In terms of international factors, the literature has focused on foreign policy considerations (Basok 1990;Loescher 2001;Loescher and Milner 2011;Rosenblum and Salehyan 2004;Salehyan and Rosenblum 2008) and on the role of supranational institutions like the EU and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees ([UNHCR]; Lavenex 2016 ;Thielemann 2004;Thielemann and El-Enany 2009;Thielemann and Hobolth 2016).…”

What drove an entire region in the Global South to significantly expand refugee protection in the early twenty-first century? In this paper, we test and build on political refugee theory via a mixed-methods approach to explain the liberalization of refugee legislation across Latin America. First, we use data from the new APLA Database, which measures legislative liberalization over a 30-year period, and test both general and region-specific immigration and refugee policy determinants through a series of nested Tobit and linear spatial panel-data regressions. Our models do not support some consistent predictors of policy liberalization identified by the literature such as immigrant and refugee stocks, democratization, and the number of emigrants, but they offer statistical evidence for the importance of leftist government ideology and regional integration. We then shed light on the causal mechanisms behind these correlations for two extreme but diverse cases: Argentina and Mexico. Based on process tracing and elite interviews, we suggest that the reason that leftist political ideology rather than institutional democratization and number of emigrants matters for policy liberalization is that Latin American executives embarked on symbolic human and migrant’s rights discourses that ultimately enabled legislative change.

“…Eytan Meyers menjelaskan bahwa pemerintahan dapat memberikan keputusan serta mengendalikan jumlah imigran yang masuk kedalam satu wilayah suatu negara. Terdapat 3 (tiga) variabel yang melatarbelakangi terbentuknya suatu kebijakan imigrasi, yakni: 1) Variabel kuantitas: Besaran jumlah imigran yang masuk dapat dipengaruhi oleh jenis kebijakan imigrasi suatu negara, peraturan yang bersifat liberal akan memberikan banyak peluang bagi para imigran untuk memasuki wilayah suatu negara, dan begitupula sebaliknya jika kebijakan restriktif akan berdampak pada sedikitnya imigran yang masuk; 2) Variabel kriteria imigran: Terdapat beberapa kriteria tertentu yang digunakan untuk menyaring imigran yang akan memasuki suatu negara seperti: ras, etnis, serta kebudayaan yang dimiliki; 3) Variabel tipe imigrasi: jenis imigrasi seperti pekerja migran sementara, imigrasi permanen, pengungsi, dan imigran ilegal dapat menentukan jenis dari kebijakan kontrol imigrasi (Meyers, 2004) Ideological Cycles (siklus ideologis) (Meyers, 2004). Pada penelitian ini, kebijakan kontrol imigrasi pada masa Pemerintahan Emmanuel Macron dipengaruhi oleh wars and external threats (faktor perang dan ancaman dari luar).…”

“…Mayoritas responden menyatakan bahwa mereka ditembak dengan gas air mata oleh polisi (86%), kemudian sebanyak 28% mengalami pelecehan verbal dan lebih dari 20% kekerasan fisik (Stanton, 2018). Sesuai dengan penjelasan Eytan Meyers (2004), kebijakan imigrasi Macron termasuk bersifat restriktif karena membatasi kuantitas/jumlah imigran dan pencari suaka yang masuk ke Prancis. Selain itu juga membatasi kriteria dan tipe imigran yang mana berasal dari negara-negara berkonflik atau merupakan sarang teroris, sehingga mengetatkan pemeriksaan terhadapnya (Corbet, 2020).…”

Pada masa pemerintahan Presiden Emmanuel Macron, Prancis menghadapi berbagai permasalahan imigran, mulai dari adanya kasus kekerasan, imigran ilegal, hingga berkaitan dengan terorisme, sehingga menimbulkan instabilitas di masyarakat. Merespon adanya permasalahan tersebut, Presiden Macron mengabil langkah untuk semakin mengetatkan kebijakan imigrasi Prancis. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk menggambarkan bagaimana implementasi kebijakan imigran Prancis pada masa Pemerintahan Presiden Emmanuel Macron. Metode penelitian yang dipakai yaitu deskriptif kualitatif, dengan menggunakan Konsep National Security dan Konsep Kebijakan Kontrol Imigrasi untuk menggambarkan kebijakan imigrasi era Presiden Macron. Hasil yang didapatkan yaitu kebijakan imigrasi pada masa Pemerintahan Emmanuel Macron menjadi lebih ketat seperti disahkan-nya Asylum and Immigration Act 2018, menguatkan perbatasan Prancis, dan menggusur kamp-kamp imigran ilegal di Prancis. Berbagai kebijakan yang diambil tersebut dilatarbelakangi oleh adanya tingkat kasus kekerasan dan terorisme di Prancis yang berkaitan dengan imigran ilegal, sehingga untuk mencapai kepentingan stabilitas kemaanan dan sosial di Prancis, maka diperlukan kontrol kebijakan imigrasi yang ketat tersebut.
