Speaker: Angie Bautista-Chavez, PhD candidate, Department of Government
Moderator: Frances Hagopian, Jorge Paulo Lemann Senior Lecturer on Government
In this presentation, Bautista-Chavez shares findings from her dissertation project, titled: "Exporting Borders: The Domestic and International Politics of Migration Control". Using key informant interviews and archival research, she examine two central questions. First, why and how has the United States internationalized U.S. immigration enforcement? Second, under what conditions do U.S. and Mexican bureaucracies cooperate on migration control? She argues that the nature and institutionalization of U.S.-Mexico cooperation on migration control can be explained by entrepreneurial bureaucrats acting transnationally, and their strategic leveraging of changes in migration patterns, bureaucratic reputations, and securitized migration.
