Seeing Illegal Immigrants: State Monitoring and Political Rationality

Last Friday, I met with Christina to iron out the last few planning details for our project. We’ve made excellent progress so far. We have three wonderful post-docs and we are getting ready to start the preliminary phase of the project. This will involve gathering background information on our three case studies (France, Germany and the UK), and preparing bibliographies.

We are always looking for suggestions of up-to-date scholarly literature on state monitoring practices and state rationalities. If you think there is something we might have missed, please let us know!

Our project starts in August 2016 and we’ll use this blog to discuss the latest project activities. Amongst other things, the blog will feature comments on current affairs, discussions of theoretical and empirical topics that relate to the project themes, and information about how our field research is progressing.

Come back soon for more!
